Rabbi Steven Burg told Newsmax on Thursday that faith and determination continue to empower the Jewish people.
"This has been an amazing holiday season for the Jewish people," the CEO of Aish, an international Jewish organization serving millions, told "Greg Kelly Reports," referencing the story of Hanukkah and its relevance today.
"The Jews were being oppressed. They fought back against the Greek Empire, which was the largest empire in the world, and they won that war.
"Israel today is facing on seven different fronts a war and is winning and has shown Iran to be a paper tiger," he said.
Burg said low casualty rates from missile attacks are evidence of divine intervention.
"I think there's a realization that 2,000 years later, God is still there for us. He's very much behind us," he said.
"Many Jews that were not connected have now connected strongly to the Almighty, seeing the way that he has stood up for us."
