TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine extend the Royal family of Serbia’s congratulations for the Hanukkah holiday to the leaders and members of the Jewish community in Serbia and the Republic of Srpska, and all Jews worldwide. The celebration of the great holiday this year starts tonight at sundown of 25 December and ends at sunset on 2 January 2025
“We send our sincere congratulations to all members of the Jewish community in Serbia, the Republic of Srpska, and all the Jews worldwide for the great holiday of Hanukkah! I wish that nine candles from the menorah, which you will traditionally light, honouring centuries-old tradition, will bring happiness and warmth to the hearts of everyone, as well as love, peace, and prosperity, and may all who celebrate it spend it in joy, together with their loved ones.
Every holiday is the day that should remind us of all to wholeheartedly work for a better and more tolerant society. Belief in the Almighty Lord obliges us to share the spirit of salvation, it reminds our entire community that we must nurture wisdom, patience, and tolerance. This year, more than ever, it is necessary that all people of faith unite their prayers for peace and stability. And it is what my family and I wish before everything else to all those who celebrate this great holiday, but also to the world we all live in“, stated TRH Crown Prince Alexander and Crown Princess Katherine.
