Chanukah - Do you have 44 Candles?

So it is 5771, What does Chanukah in the Galut mean?
What does it mean to me? What do I want it to mean to my Mishpacha?
Besides remembering the struggle so long ago...what about now?
What does it motivate me to do? The weak...the righteous....

In the Galut we fight the XTian Xmas for HaShem and the sake of our children.
We weren't  Hellenized long ago and we won't be Hellenized now!
Are we but a small band of Jews that have not assimilated?

Here in the Galut in perpetual pre-Aliyah state..
we face the issues of minority status and many around us who are against us or want us
to join them and turn our back on our heritage...and ignore the word of the Ruler of the Universe...

Chanukah gives us 8 days to share the wonders of Hashem with each other.
To proclaim to the world who and what we are!

Latkes!  Sufganiot!  Gelt!  Dreidel! 

Celebrating Chanukah for 2000+ years

HAPPY CHANUKAH!!!!
