Hanukka Lamp from Damascus, Hanukka Coin 5735-1974.
The ninth in the series of Hanukka coins depicts a Damascus lamp dating from the 18th Century. Syria, which gained its independence in 1946, made life impossible for its Jewish minority. Of thirty thousand Jews who lived there, some twenty thousand made their way to Palestine within two years, and during the 1950s, another five thousand managed to escape. The Syrian Hanukka lamp was meant to serve as a reminder that the remnants of the Jewish communities in Damascus, Allepo and Kamishli were slowly dying in captivity, locked in ghettos, exposed to humiliation, denied elementary rights, cut off from any source of livelihood, awaiting the day they could emerge from darkness into light, from servitude to freedom.

On a semi-circle, beneath the lamp, the legend: \"An 18th Century Hanukka lamp from Damascus.\".
