There's a true selflessness in giving up a seat at your Christmas table to defend your country.

This Christmas, Jill and I spoke with service members serving around the world to share just how grateful we are for their courage and sacrifice.

Rabbi Sacks said: A people that can walk through a valley of shadow of death and still rejoice is a people that cannot be defeated by any force or fear.

That capacity for faith is the light of the Jewish people.

As Hanukkah begins, may it shine from menorahs around the world.

This photo was taken a year ago during Hanukkah 2023. Hadas Bachar and Alma Or from Be’eri lit the first candle together. Hadas’ mother and brother, were tragically murdered on October 7. Her father was severely injured.

Alma, 13 years old, was kidnapped by Hamas from her home along with her brother Noam, her father Dror, and her cousin Liam. Alma’s mother was murdered. While Alma, Noam, and Liam were released as part of a hostage deal, the body of her father, Dror still remains in Gaza.

Today, as we light the first candle of Hanukkah, we dedicate it to all the hostages who have yet to return home and pray for their safe return to their families. #LetThemGoNow

Tonight, millions of Jews in Israel and around the world will come together to mark Hanukkah — a festival which celebrates the triumph of light over darkness.

As we light the Hanukkiah, we pray for the hostages being held captive in Gaza.
May the light of Hanukkah pierce the darkness, bringing hope, strength, and the swift return of our loved ones.

Happy Hanukkah 🕎

-Terrorists planted explosive devices and booby traps in the area surrounding the hospital’s compound.
-5 terrorists were eliminated.
-Several terrorists were apprehended during the operation, including one who invaded Israel on October 7.

In coordination with @cogatonline, the IDF made significant efforts to mitigate the harm to the civilian population in the area including enabling and facilitating the secure evacuation of civilians, medical personnel, and patients from the area both before and during the operation. The operation was conducted after multiple warnings were issued to the Gazan Health Ministry regarding terrorist activity being conducted inside the hospital. - Israel Defense Forces
