just like the hanukkah story.hanukkah also means that staying loyal to our religion and believing in god no matter what comes our way and going beyond our boundaries so we can continue to stand firm and our lives. we should not just give up at the first hardship that comes our way. even when some people may start to abandon their faith that does not mean we should, too. hanukkah means spreading all of our knowledge to others said they as well can partake in -- so they as well can partake in sharing the greatness of god to even more people. hanukkah is a time to spend with family and friends as we rejoice over the miracle of god's plan for us so we can celebrate together as a immunity. -- as a community. as we publicize the wonders, we maccabees.modern-day hanukkah has a special significance in my life. i tried to utilize all of my power to influence those around me so others will also stay faithful to god no matter what and share activities of hanukkah with me. >> thank you very, very much. thank you very, very mu
