In the Jewish holy book, Beit Hillel suggests that Jewish people should burn one candle on the first night of Hanukkah and then add a further candle on each night of the holiday \u2013 so that the spiritual feelings of the festival increase as the holiday goes on.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Similarly, If Not Now is committed to increasing both the size of the campaign and its impact in the USA and around the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/If-not-now-logo.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24631\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/If-not-now-logo.jpg?resize=550%2C182&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"182\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfFollow the campaigns of If Not Now:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifnotnowmovement.org\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">If Not Now<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfTo catch up with the news in East London, go to:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eastlondonnews.co.uk\/\"><em><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">East London News<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">\u25cfTo catch up with regular shows and videos, go to:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VodTalk\">VodTalk Facebook<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US-based campaigning organisation If Not Now celebrated the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah by reflecting on last year\u2019s work \u2013 and looking forward to the year ahead.
