Happy Hanukkah!
Video transcript
-I want to wish everyone a very happy Hanukkah. The miracle of Hanukkah began more than 2,000 years ago when a proud band of Jewish patriots courageously stood up and reclaimed their freedom, their faith, and their traditions from an oppressive tyrant. After that great victory, the Jewish heroes prepared to rededicate the Holy Temple but found only enough oil to light the lamp for one night. Yet by the grace of the Almighty, the flames radiated for eight days and eight nights. Ever since, the menorah has been a symbol of Jewish perseverance in the face of oppression and of God's hope, mercy, and love in times of hardship. This Hanukkah season, Jewish Americans and people all over the world are still reeling from the monstrous Hamas terror attacks on innocent men, women, and children. To everyone touched by these barbaric atrocities, we pray that God will bring you healing, comfort, and peace. We recommit ourselves to extinguishing the evil of antisemitism from the Earth. We reaffirm the everlasting solidarity with the Jewish people, and we go forward confident with God's help in the end. Light will overcome this horrible darkness. Once again, happy Hanukkah, and God bless you all.
