Bayamim Ha'heym - Ba'zman Ha'zeh!
Even after the destruction of the Temple, we continue to
celebrate Chanuka, since we are assured that another opportunity
for the realization of these prophecies will arise.
The message of Chanuka for our own generation, just as it was two thousand years ago, should be more than just 'coincidental.' To a certain extent, the prophecies of Chagai have been fulfilled. Sovereignty and economic prosperity have returned to Israel in its own land. Will the prophecies of Zecharya also be fulfilled? Just as before, it will depend on our ability to find the proper balance between "ruach," "chayil" and "koach."
