This Hanukkah, let’s remember all the light God brings to our lives and how this holiday has inspired faith in those who desperately need it.

Why do you think that, during the darkest time of the year, the Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights?

It’s not a coincidence. We celebrate light during this dark time of year because only against that backdrop of darkness can we truly appreciate light.

In this special Hanukkah episode, host Yael Eckstein will explore this season during which Jews remember the miracles that happened in their history and the miracles that are still happening today! As we’ll learn in this powerful episode, Hanukkah reminds us that no matter how dark things may be, we can still find the light.

No matter how impossible things may seem, God can make miracles happen. Listen now!

How do miracles happen? A miracle just takes one step of faith and God takes care of the rest!

That’s what today’s episode is all about, as host Yael Eckstein looks at the story of the miracle of the oil. We learn how when rededicating the Temple in ancient times, God’s people lit the menorah on faith alone because they knew they didn’t have enough pure oil for it to burn more than one day.

And guess what? God performed a miracle, and the flame lasted for eight days until they could get more pure oil!

This Hanukkah, all God wants us to do is light that first candle and He will do the rest. Just as the Hanukkah story has inspired the Jewish people throughout history, God’s miracles in our own lives ignite hope and let our faith burn bright. Listen now!
