Beautiful
beautiful
I
think
thank
you
to
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
coming
out
tonight
on
this
very
special
night,
the
last
night
of
Hanukkah,
where
we'll
be
lighting
up
the
entire
menorah
to
celebrate
this
holiday,
which
we've
been
celebrating
for
eight
days
already.
But
when
it's
about
bringing
light,
it's
not
enough
to
celebrate
for
one
or
two
nights.
C
But
this
emperor
was
trying
to
squash
you.
It
was
trying
to
destroy
it
so
I.
First,
many
of
the
Jewish
people
went
into
hiding
practicing
religion
in
secret,
but
that's
no
way
to
practice
religion
right,
we're
supposed
to
be
proud
of
who
we
are
proud
of.
Where
we
come
from,
so
a
band
of
Jewish
people
got
together,
they
call
themselves
the
Maccabees,
led
by
one
very
brave
Judah,
the
Maccabee,
and
they
stood
up
for
what
they
believed
was
right
and
what
they
believed
was
just
and
fought
back
against.
C
The
Greek
army
and
odds
were
stacked
against
them
more
than
300
to
1.
So
it
took
tremendous
courage
and
tremendous
tremendous
conviction
on
their
part
to
stand
for
what
they
believed
in
and
that's
when
the
first
miracle
happened
right,
it
must
have
been
an
act
of
God
because,
with
those
type
of
odds
against
them,
it's
what
we
call
a
miracle.
So
that's
the
first
lesson
of
Chanukah
from
the
first
miracle
of
Hanukkah
is
even
when
it
seems
difficult.
Even
when
you
know
the
chances
of
success
are
very
slim
people.
C
We
need
to
stand
up
for
what's
right,
stand
up
for
those
less
fortunate
stand
up
for
those
people
who
are
oppressed
and
denied
their
basic
rights
as
human
beings.
The
second
lesson
of
Chanukah
comes
from
the
second
miracle
of
Hanukkah.
When
the
Jewish
people
read
conquered
the
Land
of
Israel
and
came
back
into
the
Holy
Temple
of
Jerusalem,
they
wanted
to
light
the
menorah.
C
They
wanted
to
light
the
candelabra
to
celebrate,
bringing
light
into
what
was
for
them
a
very,
very
dark
situation
and
finding
the
Temple
in
shambles
and
not
being
able
to
find
any
oil
to
light
the
menorah
which
they
were
about
to
despair,
and
they
found
one
small
jug
of
oil,
one
jug.
That
would
only
light
the
menorah
for
one
for
one
day
and
it
would
take
them
at
least
eight
days
to
get
new
oil.
C
So,
at
this
point
of
the
story,
many
of
us
would
throw
up
our
hands
right.
We've
come
this
far
before.
What
can
he
do
now
when
the
darkness
is
that
great?
You
can
despair,
but
they
didn't
this.
Bear
they
had
this
vision
and
they
had
this
hope
and
they
had
guts.
They
went
ahead
and
lit
the
menorah
with
what
they
had.
D
C
So
all
it
takes
is
one
action
and
I
encourage
everyone
here
to
meditate
upon
that
as
we
like
them,
it
bear
in
mind
one
action
that
you
are
going
to
do,
make
it
specific
make
it
real
think
of
a
person
that
you
know
who
needs
it
think
of
a
place
in
the
world.
That's
dark!
That
needs
your
life
and
resolve
that
as
soon
as
possible,
you
will
be
the
light
for
that
person
in
their
life.
C
You
would
be
the
light
in
that
situation
and
you
will
do
your
part
to
brighten
this
world
and,
if
all
of
us
right,
a
lot
of
small
people
and
a
lot
of
small
places
do
a
lot
of
small
acts
of
goodness
and
kindness.
The
cumulative
effect
will
be
massive
and
will
merit
to
see
a
day
when
we
don't
have
any
more
suffering.
We
don't
have
any
more
pain
and
when
the
world
is
truly
bright,
with
the
light
of
goodness
and
kindness
I'd
like
to
thank
our
city
manager,
mr.
Tommy
racino
for
coming
out
tonight.
C
C
E
Thank
you,
Thank
You
rabbi,
I
just
want
to
say,
on
behalf
of
the
city
and
I
know
with
Naomi's,
blessed
saying
that
we
just
wish
you
a
Happy
Hanukkah
and
a
very
happy
new
year.
I
was
saying
to
someone
well,
first
of
all,
I'm,
so
glad
that
we
have
this
tradition
that
started
with
the
rabbi
of
publicly
celebrating
this
magnificent
event
and
I
think
it's
very
important
for
our
cities
and
towns
to
celebrate
the
traditions
that
are
important
to
their
residents.
That
really
makes
a
difference
in
a
community
and
in
this
community.
E
Although
these
events
took
place
2,000
years
ago,
I
really
think
they
have
relevance
here
in
Chelsea
the
story:
the
tale
of
a
community
of
faith
through
perseverance,
overcoming
and
throwing
off
the
yoke
of
tyranny
and
oppression.
That's
something
that
means
a
lot
to
the
permanent
residents.
The
city
of
Chelsea
and
I.
Think
they
hang
in
week
and
I'll
take
comfort
in
knowing
that
with
great
fate,
we
can
overcome
even
the
most
insurmountable
of
obstacles,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
rabbi
for
again
pulling
this
together
and.
C
C
And
I'll
sing
the
blessings
those
of
you
who
know
how
to
sing
the
blessing
sing
along
with
me.
Let
me
hear
you
and
if
you
don't
know
the
blessings
I'll
give
you
a
short
translation
of
them
so
that
you
know
what
they
mean.
The
first
blessing
is
blessed,
are
You
God
King
of
the
universe
who
commanded
us
to
light.
The
Chanukah
menorah
and
the
second
blessing
is
blessed,
are
You
God
King
of
the
universe
who
made
miracles
for
us
in
those
days
and
who
continues
to
make
miracles
for
us
until
today,.
D
F
C
All
right,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
please
join
us
for
some
delicious
Alaska
and
soup
gonna
yell,
some
hot
cider
to
warm
up.
Stick
around
enjoy
the
music
say
hello
to
someone
who
you
haven't
met.
Yet
that's
what
community
building
is
all
about
and
have
a
very,
very
happy
Chanukah
and
a
Happy
New
Year.
Oh.
