When Darkness Strikes, We Add Light | The Lubavitcher Rebbe

The first night of Chanukah 2025 was shattered by an act of pure evil, when gunmen opened fire at a Menorah lighting in Sydney, Australia. In a Chanukah address delivered in 1980, the Lubavitcher Rebbe spoke about the enduring lesson of Chanukah—and the timeless message of the Menorah: how light and goodness are the Jewish response to darkness. In memory of the victims of the Bondi Beach attack, this address offers perspective on the Menorah’s message in moments of darkness.
