From all of us at AIDS Care Ocean State, our Board of Directors, clients and their families, Happy Hanukkah.

Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday that means "dedication" in Hebrew, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. The Maccabees were a small group of Jews who rebelled against the Seleucid Greek empire in the 2nd century BCE. The Maccabees were led by Mattathias and his son Judas Maccabeus. They fought to defend their religious beliefs and practice Judaism freely in Israel.

According to the Talmud, the Maccabees rededicated the Temple on Kislev 25, 164 BCE. They found only enough oil to light the Temple's menorah for one night, but the oil miraculously burned for eight days. This gave the Judeans time to secure more oil. The Maccabees celebrated the rededication of the Temple for eight days, beginning on Kislev 25. The eight-day celebration of Hanukkah is based on this miracle.

It's not too late! You can still make a tax-deductible donation to close out 2025. Please follow the link below or scan the QR Code.

Thank you for your support.
