Happy First Night of Hanukkah
As each day brings some darkness, it is up to us to bring the light; to be the light.

During the Hanukkah attacks of 2019, I decided to rededicate myself to my Jewish identity. Through taking up Daf Yomi. Yes, as a 7.5 year “fuck you” to antisemites. But also as a way to rediscover joy in Judaism again. 1/

Friends - if you are Jewish, gather your menorah & candles. Even if you haven't lit it in years. Dust it off - dust them all off.

We need to light a bonfire with the light of goodness & justice.

Light it because you know that one little light can light up the darkness.

I wanted to tell a joke about Rachel, but someone said I had to tell one about Leah first
I had a joke about Jacob/Yisrael, but I really wrestled with posting it
I have a joke about Narcissus, but I’d be seriously dating myself

Shalom, friends! So there we were, puzzling out the laws around sacrifices when suddenly Rava asked a very meta question: Wait, why are we doing this? 🤷 We dont even have a temple!

We all woke up to the wonderful news that all 20 living hostages have been released. We are so grateful that the hostages are finally coming home!

We are hoping that the bodies of the deceased hostages are located and returned to their families as soon as possible.

What do Spinoza, Heshel and Buber have to do with changing a tire, changing a diaper and writing Thank You notes? It’s all about how we connect with God while being responsibly active in the world. Ask the students of the Adventure Judaism B’nai Mitzvah class for more details.
