Rabbi Mordechai Kanelsky gave the invocation at a recent New Jersey General Assembly session. As it was prior to Chanukah, his speech included messages of Chanukah and the upcoming new year.

Regarding Chanukah, Rabbi Kanelsky spoke how the light of the menorah has and always will illuminate the world and the hearts of the citizens in these uncertain dark times. For the new year he proposed that all the honorable Assembly members in the room take a moment each day to lift their eyes to God and say a prayer of thanks.
