“When a person finds himself in a situation of “after sunset,” when the light of day has given light to gloom and darkness…one must not despair…it is necessary to fortify oneself with complete trust in G-d…..the darkness is only temporary, and it will soon be superseded by a bright light……Even a little light dispels a great deal of darkness, how much more so a light that steadily grows in intensity.”
– Adapted from a Chanukah letter sent in 5737/1977 by the Rebbe to incarcerated persons
