Hanukkah SMS

Hanukkah is a celebration of the miracle of the oil that was only supposed to last for one night, but lasted for eight nights ...
It's really a story about the resiliency of the Jewish people and that despite our small numbers we still beat the odds and we're still a growing people.

Hanukkah has very little accouterments attached to it ... Besides dreidels and gold, foil-wrapped coins, the menorah is the way to showcase the holiday.

Holidays help because they come with stories, and the Hanukkah story is good for relaying that the divine pervades everything, even darkness.

More people can relate to Hanukkah because more people are facing hardships.

It's not only a Jewish message but a universal message of hope in the face of tyranny and darkness.
Happy Hanukkah

Today we will light the first candle of Hanukkah, a holiday that commemorates the victory of light over darkness. We hope that this will help light Gilad's way home and we will witness the miracle of his release soon.
