As the final lights of Zot Chanukah flicker, Parashat Miketz reminds us that every descent is for a greater ascent. From Yosef’s rise from the pit to the palace, to modern acts of compassion and hidden miracles, this message inspires us to uncover the light within ourselves and others—and trust that Hashem is guiding every twist and turn of our journey.

On Zot Chanukah and Parashat Miketz, we explore the power of light, humility, and vision—how Yosef’s emunah brought geulah, and how Chanukah calls us to ask for miracles with full hearts. Dedicated to Mrs. Fishler, a woman of quiet light.

As we add light each night of Chanukah, we are reminded of our mission to grow daily in emunah, kindness, and spiritual clarity. Just like Yosef HaTzaddik rose from darkness to greatness, so too the Maccabees lit up the world through faith and sacrifice. In this week’s message, Rebbetzin Chavi Golovenshitz shares how Chanukah and Parashat Miketz teach us to see beyond the external and kindle the inner flame of kedushah that transforms our world.

Hanukkah's profound message from Mikeitz: darkness ends, true wisdom is divine reliance, and Torah's light counters superficiality. Our unique spiritual identity, and Am Yisrael's empathy, illuminate the world.

Parashat Miketz and Hanukkah remind us that even in our darkest moments, Hashem brings light and redemption. Yosef’s rise from prison, the miracle of the oil, and the unwavering faith of the Maccabees teach us that our strength lies not in power, but in spirit. Hanukkah is a call to bring warmth, light, and emunah into our homes—one candle, one mitzvah at a time. May we merit open miracles and enduring light.
