On Hanukkah, and in life’s darker moments, we turn to light to remember and to hope. The flames we kindle bring back memories of Hanukkah celebrations and cherished days gone by, both bitter and sweet. As the song expresses, “Light rises in the morning . . . do you remember? Yes, I remember. And I won’t stop, and I won’t keep silent.”

Light stirs reflection: the first glow of sunrise over a city skyline or the quiet beauty of twilight in a beloved place. May light ignite hope and remind us that miracles still happen. Wishing you a Happy Hanukkah.
