Happy Hanukkah!
19.12.2011 Euro-Asian Jewish Congress wishes all Jews a happy Hanukkah!
Hanukkah is a holiday of victory - when light triumphs over darkness, faith over obscurantism, and truth over power. A small number of Jews defeated their enemies, and the God who gave them the victory committed yet another miracle as a reward for their firmness in faith. A little bit of oil for was enough for eight days' burning for a Temple freed of foes.
The Festival of Lights, the holiday of freedom and light, Hanukkah reminds Jews, wherever they live — in the State of Israel or the Diaspora — that a miracle can happen even in the darkest days.
In today's world, there are those who mortally hate us, who wish to exterminate the Jews, the Jewish state, and all the values that Jews brought into this world.
But we firmly believe that with God's help the people of Israel will live, the State of Israel will be strengthened, and all our enemies will perish as did perish the foes who had come before them.
Am Israel hai! Let the people of Israel live!
Hag Hanukkah sameah! Merry and bright Hanukkah to you, dear friends!
