Tha Charlotte Jewish News - December 2008 - Page 26 Miracles in Every Season By Bunny Bramson, President, Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah This is the season of Hanukkah, which commemorates the victory of a small band of Maccabees over the Syrian-Greeks who ruled the land of Israel in 167-164 BCE. Against all odds, the outnumbered Jewish freedom fighters prevailed. The festival celebrates the miracle of freedom for the Jewish people in that place and time and contin ues to represent victories won against great odds. It is also a cel ebration of the miracle of the oil that lasted for eight days. As we approach the festival of Hanukkah, we are reminded of the PICK A ROSENFELD for All Your Real Estate Needs Over 35 Years Experience Home 704-321-0220 BARBARA Helen Adams Realty 704-517-1547 MARSHALL Queenstowne Realty 704-543-6046 Bunny Bramson many miracles in our own lives and in the life of Hadassah. We celebrate the miracles of hope and healing performed every hour of each day by doctors and professionals at Hadassah Medical Organization, from high- risk pregnancies, to life saving emergency room efforts, to the at- risk populations of Jerusalem. Every miracle comes from the strength, determination and courage of Hadassah heroes. We celebrate the miracles at the Hadassah College Jerusalem where doors are opened for quali ty education and meaningful jobs and where students can become the entrepreneurs and leaders of Israel. Every student has a chance to experience the miracle of self- fulfillment. We celebrate miracles both large and small with the children of Youth Aliyah. From war tom Europe, to the streets of Ethiopia, to Hadassah Neurim Youth Aliyah Village, youngsters are rescued and made safe in Israel. We celebrate the miracle of our Young Judeans on a life long jour ney toward a fulfilling Jewish life. For 100 years, Young Judaeans have provided continuity in help ing shape and ensure a vibrant Jewish ftiture. A miracle happened there and so too, with the determination, passion and commitment of 300,000 women in America, mira cles continue to happen every day at Hadassah. It is no small miracle that Hadassah has grown and flourished. Where others saw darkness, we see the promise of a brighter future. Hanukkah renews our hope, faith and spiritual light. We see the flames of the menorah and are reminded of the miracles that come from that light.
