The marketplace and holiday extravaganza were a big hit.

The marketplace included original sculptures, paintings, jewelry, Roman glass and Eliat stone art from more than 45 Israeli artists.  

The event also featured children's programs and activities, including music by Conroy Warren—also known as Calypso Conroy—who played Hanukkah music to a Calypso beat while the crowd danced the lindy.
