stories in Jewish history - one of redemption,
freedom, and a 'miracle' that allowed for the
rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
"
International Day of Persons with Disabilities is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since
1992. The observance of the Day aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for
the dignity, rights, and well-being of individuals with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness on both the
importance, and the benefits, of integration of persons with disabilities into every aspect of political, social, economic,
and cultural life. Each year the day focuses on a different issue.
Also known as the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah celebrates the recovery of Jerusalem and rededication of the Second
or Holy Temple in Jerusalem pursuant to the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE.
The holiday takes place for eight nights and days.
For me and for the Portuguese it is a very
important date because it reminds us of the
action of the Portuguese nobles and their
bravery. In Portugal we celebrate this day with
a national holiday."
