Hanukkah is just days away — the Jewish Festival of Lights, celebrating the moment when God miraculously provided for His people. When the Temple in Jerusalem was rededicated after the Maccabean revolt, only one small jar of oil was found, enough for a single day. Yet God caused it to burn for eight full days, showing Israel that His faithfulness shines brightest in challenging times.
Today, many new immigrant families in Israel are walking through their own difficult season. They have arrived from many nations, starting life from scratch and often facing financial pressure. For many of them, celebrating Hanukkah — especially in a meaningful way for their children — is simply not possible this year.
This gives us a precious opportunity to bless not only the children, but their parents as well, who are carrying the weight of rebuilding life in a new land.
As Pastor Israel shared:
“Let’s together throw a party for the children. For many, this will be their very first Hanukkah in the land of Israel.”
Blessing 400 Children and Their Parents
This year’s Hanukkah celebration will welcome 400 Jewish immigrant children and their families. Together with their parents, they will enjoy a warm, joyful event, receive encouragement, and experience the love of God in a very practical way.
Every child will receive a festive Hanukkah gift pack containing treats and toys, and every parent will receive a special Hanukkah food basket — ensuring that the entire family can celebrate with joy and dignity.
Hanukkah reminds us that God’s light still shines today. And through your generosity, that light will reach immigrant households who deeply need it.
