(English) As Chanukah brings light into our homes,

we take a moment to contemplate the historical triumph of the Maccabees,

a small yet victorious group.

Our thoughts and prayers are with our very own Maccabees,

the brave IDF soldiers,

wishing them a miraculous victory.

(English) The recent events have brought about unprecedented challenges for many families in Israel. With fathers being called to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces, the burden on their loved ones can be overwhelming. The emotional and psychological toll on the children and their families is immense. Coping with the uncertainty, fear, and separation can be incredibly difficult, especially for young ones.

In these challenging times, our commitment to the families of our institution is unwavering. With your support, we can continue to stand by their side and offer the care and assistance they deserve. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and provide them with a sense of hope and security.

(English) Our dear friends,

Like apples dipped in honey,

your support has turned challenges into triumphs for our special children

and our enrichment program participants.

In this New Year,

may your days be as bright as the futures you've shaped

and may you be inscribed for good health, blessings, happiness, and peace.

Shana Tova Umetukah!

Rabbi Chesky Vahab
