A young woman who survived a devastating tragedy in Jerusalem found herself physically and emotionally shattered. Yet, through her despair, she discovered a deep truth: “You don’t know the power of faith until you have nothing left but faith.”
Chanukah serves as a reminder of this strength. Faith is not the absence of reason but where reason leads—beyond the rational into the extraordinary. Similarly, miracles are not rare phenomena but everyday wonders we often overlook, like the birth of a child or the simple act of breathing. Chanukah encourages us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary and to reignite the flames of faith, resilience, and appreciation for life’s miracles.
As the menorah’s light continues to burn across generations, may we embrace our own inner strength, find meaning beyond logic, and recognize the miracles that surround us. Happy Chanukah!
