I hope the miracle of Hanukkah will guide you and your loved ones always. On this Hanukkah I address the members of the community and invite all, old and young, to come together and for every member, health permitting, to participate in community activities, to make their positive contribution to the life of the community, for the Lithuanian Jewish Community to grow stronger, for the people to stand in solidarity, and for there to be less petty accusations and rumors.

Happy holiday of light, of the victory of the Maccabees! I wish you happiness, peace and good health!
