Kislev the month of miracles

The month of Kislev, a month of light and miracles!

This new month is called "The Month of Miracles" because the great Miracle of Lights happened!

Let's see more about our history: The symbol of the month of Kislev is a bow, like the rainbow that is seen in the sky when it rains on a sunny day, and indeed the first rainbow that was seen after the Flood, appeared in the month of Kislev! The verse states: "Hashem said, this is the sign of the covenant that I have set between Me and you, and between every living creature that will be with you for eternity; My bow I have set in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and the earth" (Bereshit-Genesis 9:12-13)

These words were spoken to Noah in the month of Kislev. When the months were consecrated by the Beit Din (Supreme Court of Jerusalem), based on the testimony of witnesses who had seen the New Moon, the Court would send messengers to all the communities far from Jerusalem to inform them about the consecration of the New Month. These emissaries were sent only in months that contained a festival, so that these communities would know when they should celebrate it. Since the time of the Hashmoneans, when the Beit Din (Court) consecrated this month, messengers would leave Jerusalem to announce the sanctification and to warn them. when "HANUKA" would happen, since Hanukkah is also considered a Great Holiday even though its observance is of Rabbinic origin.

Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th of the current month of Kislev (which this year falls on the 28th of November according to the Gregorian calendar).

If you enjoyed learning about this beautiful holiday, stay tuned as we continue to post more information about Hanukkah!

We wish you a month full of miracles!!
