#onthisday, 5781, as the sun sets, Jews all over the world will light the first of 8 candles to celebrate the holiday of Channukah.

.

We'll take these next 8 days to feel the awe of gratitude for being Jewish, for being able to light the candles that so many could not, to focus on teaching the next generation of the importance that spreading the light of the menorah and Judaism is.

.

Every year, Channukah reminds us that just like our ancestors fought back against the threat to our lives and our way of life, we continue that fight today – and just like they succeeded, so will we.
