Last night one lone candle sat upon my table and yours as well. Manette and I lighted our Menorot late- against the dark night we saw two small flames -barely making a dent in the evening and the world. Tonight will bring two flames each into our world and the dark sky…a doubling of our impact and effect. Imagine our individual acts of kindness- one person’s patience or generosity against a bleak expanse of exhaustively frustrating news. And yet, the next day if each of us doubled her or his acts of courtesy, friendship and support- what an impact our actions would have. Tonight ,as you light two flames and you double your impact on our world consider how significant your touch will be upon others when you double your output of love and kindness.
Happy Chanukah! Rabbi Steve Silberman
