New Hanukkah show revealed: a massive 12 million shekel investment

The new grand production for Hanukkah 2026, 'A Magic of a Festival Fulfilling Your Wishes', is underway with an unprecedented investment estimated at 12 million shekels. The elaborate show, initiated by producers Asi Stav, Elad Yosef Magan, and Sabag, and directed by Udi Gottschalk, is expected to set a new standard in the world of children's theater and entertainment in Israel.

The plot of the show will take children and their parents on a magical and immersive journey to the 'Wish Factory', an imaginary world where every dream has a place. During the journey, the heroes will reveal a story about friendship, hope, and the power to fulfill wishes, through funny, moving, and adventure-filled moments that will connect the audience to the performance.
