Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days. Beyond its historical significance, Hanukkah embodies themes of resilience, hope, and the triumph of light over darkness. With its eight candles, the menorah is lit each night to symbolize these themes, casting a warm glow that transcends religious boundaries. Lighting the menorah encourages reflection on the miracles in our lives and the enduring power of faith. Hanukkah's lights serve as a beacon of inspiration, inviting all to celebrate the miracles illuminating the human spirit.
