The International Day for the Elimination of Slavery is a day when the world unites in the fight to eradicate this heinous evil. This day reminds us of our commitment to creating a fairer and freer world for all. Together we can oppose slavery, support those who suffer from this injustice, and work to create a society where freedom and equality prevail over oppression and exploitation. The International Day for the Elimination of Slavery is not only a reminder of the problem, but also a call to action to finally get rid of this terrible practice.

The historical significance of Hanukkah stems from the victory of Jewish rebels called the Maccabees over Syrian invaders and the restoration of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. This event is also associated with a miracle when a small amount of oil intended to consecrate the menorah (seven armies) burned for eight days instead of one, which made it possible to prepare new oil. Hanukkah is a time of joy, fellowship, and remembrance of important events in the history of the Jewish people. This holiday celebrates the spiritual heritage that is passed down from generation to generation and calls for light, hope and solidarity in dark times.
