In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.

On the back of the photograph she wrote:

“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.

‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”

The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

ICYMI: we launched Pelicans 5 & 6 last week, along with 36 SuperDoves! Shortly after launch, we made contact with our sats, which are now orbiting the Earth. ✨

More launches means more capacity for our advanced constellations and solutions, unlocking value for customers.
