Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Joe Biden marks the start of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah with a quote from former British Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks in a post on X.
“Rabbi Sacks said: A people that can walk through a valley of shadow of death and still rejoice is a people that cannot be defeated by any force or fear,” he writes.
“That capacity for faith is the light of the Jewish people. As Hanukkah begins, may it shine from menorahs around the world,” he adds.
