Although our Temple was destroyed, #Jewish hope was not destroyed. We lost the building but still had the story and the light. And what had happened once in the days of the #Maccabees could happen again. Those words, “our hope is not destroyed,” became part of our anthem, #Hatikvah, that inspired Jews to return to #Israel and rebuild
our ancient state. So as you light the #Hanukkah candles remember this. The Jewish people kept hope alive, and hope kept the Jewish people alive. - R. J. Sacks

Love this. One of my colleagues is learning to play the violin and shared his performance of Israel's anthem, HaTikvah ("The Hope"). 🇮🇱
