Each and every Holocaust survivor alive today is a miracle of our time. And since Hanukkah is a time for celebration and remembering the miracles of the past, organizations throughout South Florida honored these survivors during the holiday season - hosting events for them to gather, enjoy and revel in community support.

There were two policemen. One was hiding behind a car. One was a shot in the head, he was just bleeding from his face. Another one not injured. And I'm just screaming, Where's my baby? GiGi! Gigi! Gigi!' Everyone's saying, Be quiet. They're going to come to us. They're going to shoot us. They're going to shoot us.' I'm just screaming, I don't care! Where is my baby? Where's my baby?' I'm trying to go, recalled Miller.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Two flights landed at San Francisco International Airport from Australia early Monday morning, a day after a mass shooting left at least 15 dead and more than 40 injured. The victims ranged in age from 10 to 87. Two gunmen opened fire at the popular Bondi Beach. The attack targeted a Jewish event celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.

A dreidel is a spinning top with four sides, each inscribed with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Hebrew letters inscribed on a dreidel are a Nun, Gimel, Hay or Chai, and Shin. The letters form an acronym for the Hebrew saying Nes Gadol Hayah Sham, which can be translated to "a great miracle happened there," referring to the miracle which Hanukkah is centered around.

The footage, aired on Israeli TV, shows the captives observing Hanukkah in a Gaza tunnel months before they died. Israeli media outlets have aired footage of six Israeli captives lighting Hanukkah candles in a Hamas tunnel in Gaza, eight months before their deaths during Israel's genocidal war in the besieged enclave. The footage, depicting captives Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Almog Sarusi, Ori Danino and Alex Lobanov, was released online on Thursday night after being aired on Israeli television.

The video shows two men wearing wigs dancing behind a menorah, playing with dreidels and celebrating with Punjabi-style music, inciting backlash.
