Hanukkah is translated as dedication - an idea historically significant to the Maccabee’s rededication of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem and relevant to our work today as we rededicate ourselves to the repair of our world. ONE members work to end global poverty and preventable disease by focusing on the following issues: HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria; Development Assistance and Millennium Development Goals; Education; Water & Sanitation; Trade; Debt Cancellation; Child and Maternal Health; Agriculture and Food. Particularly in this season, as we celebrate the great miracle of Hanukkah, let us share the extra light and warmth we kindle in our own homes – sending that radiant glow out into the world. Just as the Maccabees overcame a seemingly insurmountable force to revive holiness and light in the darkest of moments, we too have the power to create a modern day miracle. Chag Sameach Hanukkah, |
