The first Jewish leader of the Labour party has wished British Jewry a Happy Chanucah “from my family to yours”.
Ed Miliband said that Chanucah was a special time and an opportunity to celebrate the values of Judaism “dedication, justice, compassion and humility”.
He added: “The festival of lights is a chance to gather with friends and family, in homes and in synagogues, around the candles of the menorah.
“It is a time to reflect on the potential for hope and resilience to triumph over fear.”
