The International Day of Human Solidarity is a day when the world comes together in support and cooperation to address global challenges and combat social inequalities. This day aims to highlight the importance of solidarity and unity in achieving sustainable development and peace. Human solidarity means a common desire to support those in distress and fight poverty, inequality and other challenges. The International Day of Human Solidarity calls for action and cooperation to create more just and peaceful societies. This day also reminds us of the importance of supporting global efforts and solidarity between peoples and countries.

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.
