Poriah experiences a new dose of the old tradition with Chaim and Tova Elfenbein at the helm. There is great competition with the biggist local missionaries in Israel - around 60 families who live in the neighborhood. Chanukah has deep insight in Poria, more than in any other place ie a daily struggle against foreign influences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poria_Illit
Neve Ziv situated in the Galil held a Chanukat Beit HaKnesset this month with the help of Ayelet Hashachar residents David and Rut Baluka. The modest shul has been created to accommodate the rising interest in Jewish tradition among the locals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neve_Ziv
