Hi Everyone!
Tonight, I watched a video that was very inspirational.
The video also made me aware of details, that I did not know,
about the amazing events that took place over the past 2 years.
Rabbi Uri Pilichowski - Modern Miracles of Chanukah:
Seeing Hashem in Today's Headlines
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=900AoAyC9-0
37 minutes and it is worth watching the whole video.
Please share. Thank You!

Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for
eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of
the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts
Sunday Evening, December 14, 2025.
Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication,
faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says:
"Never lose hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a
small band of Maccabees over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who
ruled over Israel.
The Chanukah Page includes lesson sites in several languages,
videos, songs, Chanukah trivia quiz, English Hebrew vocabulary lists,
recipes, games, Whatsapp stickers, humor, photos, clipart, coloring pages and
a map of the sites of the Maccabees 166-161 BCE.
The address is:

The Chanukah Video Page has links to over 1,300 cool Chanukah videos:
https://jr.co.il/videos/chanukah-videos.htm
The video page will be updated as we get closer to Chanukah.
The Chanukah humor section has 131 items that will make you smile.
