Mitchell Kaye’s Chanukah Message for 2023
For our annual Chanukah issue, we asked members of our community to share their responses.
Mitchell Kaye served five terms in the Georgia House of Representatives and is a frequent traveler to Israel.
Am Yisroel Chai!
As we read in the Passover Haggadah “In each and every generation they rise up against us to destroy us. And the Holy One, blessed be He, rescues us from their hands.”
Ancient Egypt.
Philistines.
Assyrians.
Babylonians.
Ancient Persians.
Greek Empire.
Roman Empire.
Byzantine Empire.
Crusaders.
Spanish Empire.
Nazis.
Those nations, once very powerful, are forever gone and just a footnote in world history. There is no doubt Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and the Iranians will share this same fate.
Special thanks to President Joe Biden and Governor Brian Kemp for standing firm with Israel and the Jewish people in words and deeds, especially at this time.
We celebrate Chanukah and its many miracles and messages. Let’s celebrate with Jewish pride and Jewish unity with a shining light that dispels much darkness. Through prayer, charity and good deeds, the people of Israel will be strengthened and one step closer towards the final redemption!
Prayers for all the hostages to be returned safety; a complete healing for all those in need, both physically and emotionally; continued strength to the brave men and women in the IDF; and peace in Jerusalem and for Klal Yisroel. May we speedily usher in the time when “nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore”.
Chanukah sameach!
Mitchell Kaye is a former State Representative and will soon be in Israel helping labor shortages in the Agricultural sector.
