The nine golden tapers sparkling in the Chanukah Menorah help us to remember that great historical moment in our Jewish past and urge our vigilance, more than ever, to assure that our ideals and our security in the State of Israel, today, is safeguarded. The words that we must reiterate are בימים ההם בזמן הזה. These are times that we need our spiritual energetic force to bring forth our modern day Maccabees that will stand proudly for our Jewish people and our Jewish State.
Secretary of State John Kerry delivered an outrageous and insulting speech against the State of Israel. He portrayed Israeli society in a most devastating and destructive manner.
We, the Jewish People, while igniting the lights of the Chanukah Menorah are dispelling our societal darkness. Kerry lit a vitriolic bonfire to burn the only glorious Democratic State in the Middle East and, supposedly, an ally of the United States. He suggested that democracy and Judaism cannot go together - what an absurd and ludicrous statement.
Like Joseph, we are בעלי חלומות. We dream. Not the impossible dream, but the dream of survival. We dream that we will be the Democratic- Jewish State that knows how to be ethical and moral and continue to be the אור לגויים.
Remember בטחו בה׳ - let the world know that our survival is due to the miraculous intervention by Hashem. The miracle of רבים ביד מעטים, foresees a time like ours, where the world, including the security council of the United Nations and the United States of America, have rallied against us. However, at such a precarious time our בטחון grows greater and יד ה׳ stretches forth to protect us and guarantees our security and survival.
Our פרסומי ניסא is to tell the world "You do not decide our fate. It is בורא העולם who acts on our behalf and guarantees our future and our glorious destiny."
May this Chanukah herald a time of ביאת המשיח, and שלום על ישראל.
עם ישראל חי
שבת שלום חדש טוב חנוכה שמח
