Yes, what happened on Hanukkah was a miracle and we recall it with the phrase: Nes Gadol Hayah Sham - A Great Miracle Happened There.
 
On a personal note, I recall the first time our family visited Walt Disney World Parks - "The Magic Kingdom." As we entered the big parking lot and saw the giant welcoming sign: "A Place Where Dreams Come True", I knew from the faces of our kids that this was truly a place where their dreams came true!
 
As for dreams in our Jewish history, the Bible is full of characters who dreamt all the time. Even Joseph, whom we meet in this week's Sedrah, is known in our tradition as "Joseph, the Dreamer".
 
Indeed, our religion teaches us that G-d revealed Himself to our prophets via either a vision or a dream. Depending on each character, G-d decided how to reveal to them, but the goal was always the same - to bring a message, to give hope, or to teach that someone is listening to them.
 
Temple Beth Israel today is not the exception - our leaders and congregants, too, are dreamers. We dreamt over the past number of years for a new permanent home, and, thank G-d, this dream is now coming true!
 
So, keep on dreaming for your personal goals and dreams to come true. And never forget the immortal words of Theodore Herzl: "Eem Tirtzu Ayn Zo Agada" - "If you sincerely desire it, it will come true!"
 
Shabbat Shalom and Hanukkah Sameach!
