Rita Benisti Inspired

Ten years ago, I lost my mother, and in many ways, I’ve been trying to find my way back to her ever since. This book, A Chanukah Prayer Guide to Ignite Miracles, is the result of that search—a deeply personal journey through my own pain and healing, and an invitation for you to tap into the transformative power of prayer during the sacred days of Chanukah.

Each night of Chanukah, as we light the menorah, we are not simply performing a ritual. We are connecting to something far greater—the holiness of the Beit Hamikdash. Hashem’s words in the Talmud remind us that for these eight days, we can experience a spiritual return to the Temple, where every prayer has the power to ignite miracles. This book is structured to guide you through each night, focusing on a specific area of your life.

When I think of my mother, I remember how her WhatsApp status was always “Nissim v’niflaaot”, — miracles and wonders—because she truly believed in Hashem’s power to turn the impossible into reality. It’s that unwavering faith I want to share with you. Through this book, I hope to help you see how even the smallest prayer, even the smallest flicker of light, can bring about the greatest miracles.

Getting to ten years without you, Maman, feels like a mountain I never thought I could climb. But with every prayer that I write here, I feel you close, guiding me. You taught me that miracles don’t just happen—they are born from faith.

This book is my way of sharing that faith with you and with anyone seeking to find light in the darkest of times. May this book bring that light into your life, just as my mother’s memory continues to light mine.
