These treats will also be standard holiday fare in the upper class lounges, where passengers will find menorahs and a candle lighting ceremony each night in the traditions of Hanukkah. But why not make your own sufganiot?

El Al's scrumptious Sufganiot recipe:
· 1 cup warm water
· All-purpose flour as necessary
· 1 cup sugar
· 4 oz. melted shortening (not too hot)
· 1 dozen. whole eggs
· 24 oz. raspberry jam
· 2 tbs. baking powder
· 1 cup sugar
· 1/4 cup cinnamon

Combine yeast, water, sugar, shortening, eggs, baking powder and flour. Roll into donut hole-size balls. Set over warm stove and allow to rise to double in size. Fry donuts in hot oil until golden brown. Remove from grease and cool partially on wire rack. Fill with raspberry jam using a spiked pastry bag. Roll donuts in cinnamon-sugar. Cool at room temperature. Makes about 3 ½ dozen.
