Scripture: Psalm 10:17-18
"O LORD, Thou hast heard the desire of the humble; Thou wilt strengthen their heart, Thou wilt incline Thine ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more."
Commentary:
When violence targets a community gathered in peace, the basic sense of safety is shattered. People at that Chanukah celebration will carry the memory of this night for many years. This Scripture asserts that God is attentive to the cries of those oppressed by evil and assures that such terror does not go unseen by Him.

Attacks against Jewish communities abroad reflect an intensifying pattern of global hostility long outlined in biblical prophecy.
