sustains us, each and every day.

On Chanukkah: Long ago, an arrogant tyrant tried to force our ancestors to give up their beliefs and customs. If they had suceeded, our
people and our faith would have died out and we would not be here today. But, with amazing courage, first a few, then more still, resisted
them. After three years of struggle, the temple was rededicated; the flame of our faith, so nearly extinguished was rekindled; and this
Festival of Dedication was established. May it be a happy time of thanksgiving and rededication for us and for all our brothers and sisters
of the House of Israel.

On Purim: In the days of Mordechai and Esther, the wicked Haman rose up against them on the thirteenth of Adar. He sought to destroy
all the Jews and to seize their posesitions. We thank You, O God for in your great mercy you have caused his scheme to fail and punished
him for his evil temper.

For all these things we thank and praise V'al hakol Adonai Eloheynu anachnu modim lach,
You. May your name be praised continually um'var'chim otach, yitbarach shim’cha b'fi kol
