There are two ways to awaken someone: either with a loud sound or by turning on the lights.

On Rosh Hashanah, we are awakened by the loud call of the shofar. 

On Chanukah, we are awakened by the bright lights of emuna that shine from the Chanukah menorah. 

We are awakened by the lights of emuna.
