I am doing a cross-stitch picture for a resident at a nursing home for Chanukah and am curious as to what this means: "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham." Thank you.
AskTheRabbi.org answered:
It means "A great miracle happened there," referring to the miracle of the oil and the Jewish defeat of the ancient Greeks. Good luck with your picture. You are doing a wonderful mitzvah, a good deed of loving-kindness.
