As we light the candles and celebrate the miracles of Chanukah, let us also take a moment to reflect on the lessons of gratitude amidst tragedy. Just as our tradition teaches us to mourn and grieve in the face of loss, it also encourages us to find reasons to be thankful for the blessings that remain. In the midst of suffering, we can still find moments of gratitude for the good that surrounds us.
May this Chanukah be a time for us to appreciate the victories we have achieved, the strength of our community, and the resilience of the Jewish people. As we gather with loved ones to celebrate, let us remember to give thanks for all that we have, even as we acknowledge the challenges we face. Wishing you a happy and meaningful Chanukah filled with light, joy, and gratitude.

We pray that we will continue to see Hashem’s miracles and protection, and that just as Hashem provided salvation for the Jewish people in those times, so may He provide that to us in ours.
