✨ WHAT IS HANUKKAH?

Hanukkah is an eight-day festival recorded in history and referenced in Scripture (John 10:22) as “the Feast of Dedication.”
It remembers when the Temple in Jerusalem was cleansed, restored, and rededicated after foreign oppression tried to erase the faith of Israel.

⸻

🔥 WHY DO WE CELEBRATE IT?
• To honor Yah’s miracle of the oil that burned for eight days.
• To remember the bravery of the Maccabees, who fought to preserve Torah and identity.
• To rededicate our own hearts and homes to Yah’s ways.
• To celebrate light overcoming darkness, both in the past and today.
• To carry on a tradition practiced for over 2,000 years.

📜 A BRIEF HANUKKAH STORY

When the Temple was reclaimed, only one small jar of pure oil was found — barely enough for one night.
But Yah made it last for eight nights until new oil could be prepared.

This miracle taught Israel:
When we give what we have, Yah multiplies it.
