December Shabbat Theme: Light in the Darkness
Jewish tradition teaches us the power of תקוה – Tikvah – Hope. For centuries, Hope was the fuel God provided for us to endure and persevere, even in the darkest of times. This month we will look at different resonances of hope. As we celebrate Chanukah, we recall the hope that drove the Maccabees to win our people’s liberation, and how the Festival of Lights inspires us to renew our dedication to build a world of light.
