Hanukkah: The Miracle of the Festival of Lights Celebrating 2,300 Years of Jewish Resilience

Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, began over 2,300 years ago in Judea under King Antiochus's oppressive rule. He demanded the rejection of Jewish beliefs and customs. However, Judah Maccabee and his brothers led a courageous revolt, reclaiming sacred temples and land after three years of battle. The miracle of Hanukkah is remembered through the lasting oil that illuminated the menorah for eight days, despite only having enough for one. This eight-day festival symbolizes hard-won freedom, dedication, and the light that shines within every Jewish household.
