Today the first Hanukkah candle was lit on the central square of the capital of Ukraine, and it was a special event. The right to light the first candle was given to Tamir Elboim, a parishioner of our community and a Ukrainian serviceman
This moment is deeply symbolic. Hanukkah is a holiday that reminds us of the victory of light over darkness, of courage over fear, of faith over doubt. Tamir, like thousands of other defenders of Ukraine, fights daily for our bright future, protecting our land from evil.
The light of the Hanukkah candle is a reminder that even one small spark can dispel great darkness. And that spark is already burning in the hearts of each of us.
May this holiday become a symbol of unity, hope and indestructibility for all Ukrainians.
Hanukkah Sameach! Light will surely overcome the darkness!
