As Jewish families gather this week to celebrate the Festival of
Lights, Todd and I would like to wish them a very Happy Hanukkah. This
beautiful holiday commemorates the story of the rededication of the
Temple in Jerusalem, following years of struggle by the Maccabees, when
one-day’s worth of consecrated oil miraculously lasted for eight. This
story never ceases to inspire because it reminds us of the power of
faith, hope, and perseverance.
The modern State of Israel
is the living embodiment of the Hanukkah miracle – a country that was
not expected to survive the onslaught of its enemies, and which has not
only survived but thrived as a beacon of freedom, tolerance, and
innovation. In a region consumed by chaos and oppression, Israel
continues to be a light of inspiration. As Jews around the world sing
“Maoz Tzur,” we remember that our nation, too, was conceived in faith in
our “mighty stronghold.” Let us cherish the values and warm bonds of
friendship that unite us in this season.
