THANKSGIVING OF ISRAEL

Chanukah: It’s Time to say THANK YOU!

: Chanukah is the Jewish Thanksgiving! While each day we express our “hakarat hatov” (appreciation) for all of life’s brachot (blessings), Chanukah is the special time for the People of Israel to celebrate and say: THANK YOU!We thank God for the awesome miracles of Chanukah that took place over 2000 years ago. For the illuminating light of the Menorah. And for the Maccabees – a small Jewish army that defeated the Greeks. But what does this have to do with the People of Israel today? Are these ancient miracles relevant in today’s modern world?
