Happy Chanukah
Like the small group of Chamona'im(maccabees) defeated the huge Greek army, this shows us that anything is possible.

In the Chanuka story, there was a spiritual threat to us from the Greeks; Jews physically fought for what they believe in. Yes, some went astray, but some stuck to their heritage.
In the Purim story, there was a physical threat to us from Haman. The Jews fasted and prayed and did teshuva and survived.
Sometimes we need action, sometimes prayer. In general though, they are both important.
