To celebrate Hanukkah (חנוכה), I made a WebXR scene where the user can pan, walk around (WASD), and/or enter VR in the Western Wall (הכותל המערבי) using AFrame, an HTML/JS framework for creating WebXR experiences.

Features
<a-scene>.
To make a WebXR scene, I used the webcomponents proved by AFrame to create a scene with
- a 360 image as the sky
- a number of cylinders as candles
- a number of gltf models for flames and the hanukiah (special thanks to Santiago Shang for the CC licensed beautiful GLTF model)
- and some english text (doesn't support hebrew / RTL as far as I can tell)
Here is the live demo (click the ▶️ to see it in your browser, desktop or mobile)
Future plans involve adding interactivity, so that using a Quest 2 controller / pointer lets you light each candle, or to integrate hebcal so that it can automatically light the right number of candles.
