The moment thousands of Israeli fans sang Chanukah prayers in unison just before a game in Haifa was captured in a dramatic video last week.

Crowds joined in during a menorah-lighting ceremony hosted at the city’s Sammy Ofer stadium last Thursday. 

The match saw Maccabi Haifa FC achieve a 5-1 win over the city’s rival club Hapoel Haifa.

Sharing a clip on Twitter at the weekend, the group Stand With Us hailed it as an “amazing #Hanukkah moment.”

Taking to social media, one online user recalled attending the game and described its “amazing atmosphere”. 

Another said the clip “made me smile.”
