Through the Grapevine
Happy Hanukkah!
By Vicki L. George
The Bandera Prophet
“Your Word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.” Psalm 119: 105
The first candle of Hanukkah is lit at dark on Dec. 22 and continues for seven more nights. We light the lights to chase away the darkness. Hanukkah is about faith and hope.
We wish a joyful Hanukkah to all our Jewish friends.
