Wasserman Schultz Wishes Families Happy Chanukah

Washington, DC, December 16, 2014
Along with Jewish families across the country and the world, my family will gather tonight to light the first Chanukah candle. We will recall the great miracle that happened in Jerusalem more than two thousand years ago, and the power of a few against many. As we light another candle each night, we will think about the ways in which we, too, can be shining examples of hope and righteousness in the face of tumult and darkness.

During this holiday season, we will reflect on the blessings of the past year, and keep in mind those less fortunate than we are. We will recommit ourselves to our values and continuing to work to make the world around us a better place.

Along with my family, I wish you and yours a happy Chanukah and a meaningful holiday season.
