Happy Hanukkah!

Tonight we light the first Hanukkah candle 🕯️ Grandpa always says that when we light it, we remember that even a very small light can push away a lot of darkness. Hanukkah is about not giving up. About keeping your faith and who you are, even when people try to scare you or make you disappear. Long time ago the light should have gone out, but it didn’t. It stayed. And it still stays. Today this feels extra important. Jews were attacked and killed just because they were celebrating Hanukkah. That is very sad and very wrong. Hate is real, and antisemitism is still real. But Hanukkah teaches us that hate never wins in the end. When we light the first candle, we don’t do it only for ourselves. We do it to show that light is stronger than fear. That life is stronger than violence. And that hope is stronger than hate. This light is for the people who are scared, for the people who are sad, and for everyone who wants the world to be better. One candle at a time. Happy Hanukkah 🕯️ May the light grow every night.
