CTVP Brings Light to the Houses of Bereaved Families

ISRAEL [CHI] — Yesterday, the first day of Chanukah brought the first of many nights of home visitations to families of terror victims. Scores of volunteers guided by the CTVP staff visited many bereaved families of terror victims and family members of fallen IDF soldiers. They lit candles and brought them the message of Chanukah with a special emphasis on “Haor Yinatzeiach” – “the light will win.”
