The Jewish people are celebrating Hanukkah today; a holiday which is a symbol of strengthening faith and renewing traditions. I would like to congratulate the Jewish people and the Georgian Jews on the holiday which reminds each one of us how powerful the inexorable fight for faith can be. I hope that your faith brings you, your families, and your homeland only success, peace, and prosperity.
Sincerely,
Mikheil Saakashvili
President of Georgia
