Sheryl Sandberg Instagram – Tonight, our family lit our menorah to mark the first night of Hanukkah — joining Jews worldwide in this 2,000-year tradition.
The story of Hanukkah is one of hope. It’s about the triumph of light over darkness. And it reminds us of the persistence of faith — a community surviving centuries of persecution without losing our shared identity. As we said the blessings tonight, I felt a deep connection to Jews across the globe who have persevered for centuries to continue celebrating our faith.
Around the world, billions of others are also celebrating Christmas today and the values it represents: kindness, empathy, and peace and good will to all. It’s fitting that Christmas and Hanukkah fall on the same day this year. It’s a reminder of our common humanity, showing that we all seek hope, love, and compassion.
May all of us, from every background and faith, find light in our lives and work together for enduring peace. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah. | Posted on 26/Dec/2024 08:24:15
