The Snowball in the Middle of the Road

 Sometimes we are sure of who we are, where we are going, and what we believe. Then there is a small obstacle in the road- like this baby snowball. Will we stumble, fall, or notice it, walk around it and keep going? This is what life is all about these days. The question is, how do we deal with the snowball in our way.

8th Night of Chanukah: Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai

Tonight is the 8th and final night of Chanukah. I decided to light candles honoring both Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai by lighting one Chanukiah will a full 8 lights (Beit Hillel) and one with just one candle (Beit Shammai). 


We gaze into the 8 flames of Hillel and feel full. Full of light that has crept into our darkened spaces. Full of learning and singing. Full of miracles. 


We gaze into the single flame of Shammai and breathe into it a sense of possibility.  Wonder at what is to come. Wonder at how each of us can make a difference in this world. 


Wonder at when this war will end and when our captive cousins will be returned home. 


Together we have made this Chanukah a holiday of meaning. Now it is time for some homegrown miracles to happen
