Friend, As the setting sun marks the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, I’m reminded of what underlies so many of our sacred celebrations this holiday season: The commitment to bring light to a world shrouded in darkness. Bringing light in times of darkness is the work of Faith in Action. Our commitment to faith and justice — especially through the darkest of times — is what brings us together and shows us the way forward in the face of antisemitism, racism, and xenophobia. The last few years have indeed included dark times. And yet your light brings me faith and sustains our community. Through your efforts I know that we can create a pathway to citizenship for our undocumented friends and neighbors, and that we can ensure that every voice is heard in our democracy. When we come together, our light of justice burns brightly. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate, and may our faith be fueled with love for the many nights ahead. |
