Back to EpisodesIDF soldiers lighting Hanukkah candles in Gaza: A reflection on the path to transforming peace
Description
Some 800 menorahs from Israeli children who were evacuated from the area around Gaza were delivered to Israeli soldiers fighting in the Gaza Strip. As they lit these candles on the front lines, families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas held their own Hanukkah observance in Tel Aviv. As Jews around the world grieve the atrocities of Hamas’s October 7 invasion, global solidarity with them both as a people and as a nation is vitally significant. However, there’s a problem with conflating the two, one we urgently need to understand in our conflicted day.
