This Hanukkah, many will be lighting the menorah with broken hearts. As we mourn the lives taken at Bondi Beach, we are reminded how fragile light can feel in moments of deep darkness.
Judaism teaches that a single flame can push back against the darkness. Hanukkah calls on us not to look away, but to add light — deliberately, courageously — even when hope feels thin.
At TOUCH, through food, care, and dignity, we strive to fulfill the mitzvah of caring for one another and to bring אור (light) where it is most needed.
May the lights of Hanukkah honor the souls we have lost, bring comfort to mourners, and strengthen our resolve to choose compassion over despair.
