We are living in historic and miraculous times. The world has been transformed in ways we could hardly imagine a year ago. Israel’s remarkable military victories have realigned the balance of power in the Middle East. With shifts in South Africa and the United States, we have witnessed a year of extraordinary transformations. As we light our Chanuka candles this year, let us take a moment to give thanks to God for how far the world has come since this time last year. Join in honoring the courage of Israel’s soldiers who defend freedom, and let us embrace the timeless lessons of Hanukkah—gratitude, moral clarity, and faith.
