Hanukkah: after darkness comes light

Tonight we light the first Hanukkah candle. Hanukkah is celebrated in honor of the victory of ancient Jewish warriors and the divine miracle that allowed a drop of oil to burn in the menorah of the liberated temple for all 8 days. Therefore, Hanukkah is called the festival of light and liberation. But this year, Hanukkah is overshadowed by the terrible events of October 7th, depriving many of peace and a sense of joy. Accepting pain and loss, we believe that Israel will prevail and the Jewish people will endure. Remember that after darkness comes light. Am Yisrael Chai!
