It’s the fourth night Chanukah, already? How the days have flown by! Turn back the clock one month to remember your hopes for this year’s Chanukah. The anniversary of religious freedom, our ancient holiday, did not originate to bolster merchants hawking wares. Our ancestors stepped out of their comfort zone, risking their lives and their security so that we,their future descendants, might live Jewishly and freely. Four days remain; how shall we step out of our customary Chanukah practice and promote religious freedom for ourselves and for others?
Chanukah Sameach!
Rabbi Steve Silberman
