New Delhi, Dec 19 (IBNS): Tweeting in Hebrew, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday wished the Jewish community on the occasion of Hanukkah.

While in one tweet, Modi wrote in Hebrew, in the other one posted in English, the Prime Minister said: "Wishing my Jewish friends a Happy Hanukkah! May this Festival of Lights and the festive season ring in peace, hope and well-being for all."
