🕯 ABOUT HANUKKAH — THE FEAST OF LIGHTS
Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration also called the Feast of Dedication (John 10:22).
It commemorates when the Temple in Jerusalem was reclaimed, cleansed, and rededicated after foreign powers attempted to erase Israel’s faith and identity.
It is a season of:
• dedication
• renewal
• courage
• family unity
• miraculous light
• remembering the goodness of Yah across generations

🔥 THE MIRACLE OF THE OIL
When the Maccabees restored the Temple, only one small jar of pure oil remained — barely enough for one night.
But Yah made it burn for eight days until new oil could be prepared.
This miracle is why we light the Hanukkiah today:
Eight nights. Eight flames. One everlasting testimony.
⸻
✨ WHY WE KEEP HANUKKAH
Hanukkah reminds us:
• Light always overcomes darkness
• Identity is worth fighting for
• Faith survives every empire
• Yah keeps His people through every generation
• Dedication begins in the heart
• We are part of a long, beautiful story

London-based Danielle realised there was something missing, and that black gamers were underrepresented in character creation - so she started making custom video game content.
After Grammy award-winning rapper T-Pain used her creations, Danielle wants to help gaming companies improve their diversity and representation.
