On the occasion of Hanukkah, a holiday in Jewish tradition commemorating the victory in the great uprising against oppressors and the new consecration of the Temple, His Holiness Serbian Patriarch kyr Porfirije extended heartfelt greetings to the Chief Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Serbia, Mr. Isak Asiel, and to all members of the Jewish community:

– May this feast bring you peace, joy, and blessings in every aspect of life. Just as the light of the Hanukkiah shines brightly in the darkness, may your hearts be filled with love, warmth, and hope. We pray to the Lord that this holiday brings you inner light and joy to share with others, peace within and among us, and genuine fellowship with family, friends, and all people of the world.
