A Chanukah Blessing

Last year, and for too many years before that, we were lighting Chanukah candles in his name, praying that somehow he might come home alive.

This year he can light for himself.

Welcome home, Gilad.

Occupy Hannukah Tonight in Berkeley

Nothing like Chabad and Hannukah for showing us the power of light and faith to illuminate the darkness and to triumph over evil. Hannukah commemorates the victory of the few over the many- of right vs might. Jewish farmers with no military training defeated the massive armies of the Greek empire, in the first war ever fought for religious freedom.



I hope to see all you neo-Maccabees there tonight. These too are days of miracle and wonder.
