Chag u’rim samaech!

Families across our community and around the world have been celebrating the festival of lights this week, remembering the miracle of a single cruse of oil burning bright for eight days instead of one. In more ways than one, this holiday is about light triumphing over darkness. It invokes hope and a strong sense of community, and I hope all of us, regardless of our faith, can find meaning in that this year.

Let’s take this time to look for the light in unexpected places and situations -- and lift it up. Whether you’re celebrating with loved ones in your home or eating latkes over Zoom, I wish you a happy and healthy Hanukkah. Stay safe, stay hopeful, and remember to find the light in the darkness.

Warmly,
