Shaindle Schmuckler’s Chanukah Message for 2025

Each year, as I celebrate the miracles of Chanukah, I celebrate the courage, faith, and resilience of the Maccabees. For me, it is another opportunity to celebrate our Jewish heritage, our Jewish identity, our Jewish history.  It is also an opportunity to consider the candles on the chanukiah and that the smallest acts of kindness can illuminate the world.
