The Day of Remembrance for All Victims of Chemical Warfare is dedicated to respecting the memory of those who suffered from chemical attacks and the effects of chemical weapons. This day calls for solidarity and cooperation in efforts to prevent the use of chemical weapons in military conflicts and highlights the importance of international norms and treaties prohibiting them. Remembrance Day also serves as a reminder of the need to strengthen efforts to eliminate existing stockpiles of chemical weapons and prevent their proliferation. This day serves as a reminder of the terrible consequences of chemical warfare and supports efforts to create a world without chemical weapons.

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.
