"Judaism and its culture of hope survived, and the Chanukah lights are the symbol of that survival, of Judaism’s refusal to jettison its values for the glamour and prestige of a secular culture. A candle of hope may seem a small thing, but on it the very survival of a civilization may depend."
In times of darkness, we seek light.
The lesson of Chanukah is light’s persistence, despite every material and metaphysical obstacle — and the dedication of the Jewish people, over centuries, to knowledge, light, gratitude and care.
The light of religious freedom must prevail over intolerance; hope must prevail over despair. We are our brothers’ keepers.
Please help NATAN with your generous support.
"A single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”
"Start again, I heard them say, The birds they sang, at the break of day... There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in."
