On behalf of the Official Opposition and all Saskatchewan New Democrats, I want to wish a very happy Hanukkah to all of those celebrating.
This is a special time when Jewish families across the province and around the world gather to light the Menorah and mark the victory of resilience, faith and light over oppression and darkness.
This celebration of the small and large miracles that help us overcome challenges also reminds us all to recommit to working for a world where everyone can live free of oppression in all its forms.
During this festival of lights, may hope, unity and goodwill illuminate our efforts as we build together toward a stronger and fairer Saskatchewan and a better world.
