As many Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah, we reflect on God being the light amidst the darkness in the current world events.
Hanukkah celebrates the miraculous victory of the few against the many, the weak against the mighty, and good against evil.
It is no exaggeration to say that had it not been for Hanukkah, there could have very well not been a Christmas. Hanukkah prepared the way for the birth and ministry of Jesus.
