"The story of Hanukkah is actually important for all faiths. We can all find inspiration in it, because it is a celebration of religious liberty, the right to practice one's religion according to the dictates of one's own conscience. That's what was at stake for the Maccabees in Israel one hundred sixty-four years before Christ. That's what is at stake today around the globe."
