Hanukkah greeting

Hanukkah - the festival of lights - celebrates the miracle of faith. The nine armed menorah candle, lit for eight days to celebrate the struggle for religious freedom and the persistence of hope in adversity. This reminds us all about the important role faith plays in the lives of individuals.

Last month we were also reminded of the value of selflessness during Inter Faith Week. People of all faiths and backgrounds came together to learn from each other in order to overcome common misconceptions and get a better understanding of each others faith. The Government welcomed the enthusiastic participation of the Jewish community in the week. Events such as the annual Mitzvah day when the value of giving is celebrated through a wide range of activities to help those less fortunate by volunteering to make a difference.

I would like to wish everyone a very happy Hanukkah.
