Statement by Governor Dan McKee on Hanukkah

Published on Thursday, December 07, 2023

PROVIDENCE, RI – Governor Dan McKee today issued the following statement wishing Rhode Islanders a happy Hanukkah:

“As the first night of Hanukkah approaches, we celebrate all that the Festival of Lights symbolizes – the resilience of the human spirit and the triumph of hope over adversity. During this Hanukkah season, let us take time to reflect on the values of unity and compassion.

Across Rhode Island – and across the world at this moment in time – as families come together to light the Menorah, let us wish them health, safety, well-being and peace. Susan and I extend our warm wishes to the Jewish community. Chag Sameach!"
