The message of Chanukah emphasizes that while the story of Jewish history is ongoing and often filled with challenges, the ultimate outcome is assured: the Jews will prevail because they are aligned with God. This theme is reflected in the song 'Maoz Tzur,' which recounts past tribulations and victories, leaving the ending open as a reminder of the ongoing journey. Despite current adversities and anti-Semitic sentiments, the Jewish people remain resilient and steadfast in their faith, knowing that their bond with God ensures their eventual triumph.
