Happy Hanukkah
Greetings from the California Republican Party
SACRAMENTO - California Republican Party Chairman Ron
Nehring today issued the following statement: "The California Republican Party extends Happy Hanukkah
greetings to all those celebrating the start of the Festival of Lights at
sundown tonight. The eight-day Jewish holiday commemorates the historic
occasion when the Jewish people fought against a brutal tyrant for their right
to worship freely and the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. "Miracles, such as the oil lasting for 8 days, teach us
the power of faith and community. This special festival holiday also celebrates
the meaning of life, liberty, religious freedom, and the light unto the nations
that is the people of Israel. friends a happy
Hanukkah season of blessings, and may Jerusalem remain a free and united
symbol of peace."
