“As the eight days of Hanukkah begin, I extend my heartfelt wishes to Alberta’s Jewish community.
“Hanukkah commemorates the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days in the Temple – a symbol of resilience, faith and divine providence. It reminds us that even in the face of adversity, the flame of hope and determination can shine brightly.
“As many in the Jewish community continue to face challenges and uncertainty, may the Hanukkah lights bring you comfort, continued perseverance, and hope for the future.
“Chag Hanukkah sameach!”
