A seasonal time
The atmosphere, cold yet cozy
During the dark winter days
A time of miracles, of hope
On Chanukah we are story tellers. We chose which story to tell, which lessons would echo for future generations. Rather than focusing solely on the Maccabean victory, a story of violence and identity conflict - we tell a story of candles and flames and of hope.
Hope is not a static thing, it is a living thing that must be nurtured and tended to within us, kept alive within each of our hearts and among us as a collective. Whether we despair in the face of systemic oppression, war and terror, climate chaos, or trauma of any personal or collective nature, hope is something which can be stoked within us through stories, connection, belief, and commitment to embodying and enacting that which we hope for. Amidst times of darkness, Chanukah brings the light of miracles, connection, and hope which inspires action.
Chanukah comes from the root word meaning "dedication".
As you light each night, let us ask: to what do you dedicate yourself? What light are you adding to our world?
In this guide, you will find 8 handmade collage art pieces, accompanied by teachings and rituals for each night of Chanukah.
Happy Chanukah, Freilichen Channukeh, Chanukah Alegre
