What has happened to our America?​

This Sunday evening my wife and I will place a Chanukah menorah in the front window of our home and light the first candle celebrating our Holiday of Lights, reciting ancient prayers as we have done for many years. But, somehow, this year seems dramatically different.

As American Jews, we have long enjoyed a sense of safety and security, a sense that we are insulated from the danger and hatred that our fellow Jews confront in other parts of the world. But in the current atmosphere of Antisemitism that feeling of welcome has been, if not broken, seriously damaged.

Our synagogue has constant armed security. We recently installed bulletproof glass in our doors and windows. We are regularly reminded: “If you see something, say something.”

An atmosphere that should provide peace and comfort is instead riding on a current of uncertainty and insecurity.

What has happened to our America? Will we ever return to our feeling that “it couldn’t happen here?”

Will lighting our menorah return to a simple act of faith and no longer be an act of bravery?

my daugther sent me this after I shot her a text asking where she planned to celebrate this year - with her new inlaws or her mother - terribly sad that she feels this way - on a day meant to Celebrate the Festival of Lights - I really had no idea

Yes.
What has happened to our America???

Very sad indeed Wader
I could provide some easy answers and insight but they would be deleted very quickly

And a very Happy Hannukah to those who partake!!!

Wow
That certainly is a post that should be deleted?‍

Why?
I celebrate Hanukkah… and I only responded to the question of the previous poster.

After 90 Years, a Menorah That Symbolized Defiance Is Rekindled in Germany​

BERLIN — Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took a photograph in 1931 that she had no idea would one day resonate with people across the world: It was of her family’s Hanukkah menorah, nine candles framed in a window through which a large Nazi banner could be seen hanging across the street.

“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says. ‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers,” she scribbled defiantly on the back of the photograph.
