Gordon Brown – 2009 Hanukah Message
The message issued by Gordon Brown, the then Prime Minister, on 11 December 2009.
As Britain’s Jewish community joins Jews all over the world in celebrating Hanukah I wanted to pass on my own warm wishes for this festival of lights. As you gather round the menorah, may you draw strength from the Hanukah story of how light and faith can endure the toughest of times.
The story of Hanukah has been passed from generation to generation for thousands of years – may it be retold to bring hope for thousands of years to come.
