From The Rabbi

Hanukah Reading by the poet Ruth Brin

The light of freedom burns bright and hot
at the crossroads of decision.

In the market place at Modin
Mattathias stood in the heat and the light for only an instant.

He heard the offer of the tyrant:
Silver and gold, honor and the king’s friendship,
But he, in his freedom, chose another way.

Without hesitation, he chose the law of God
For himself and his family, though it meant warfare and death.

When we sing the holiday blessings let us ponder
The solemn choices of those men and women
Who gave us our freedom.

When we light the Hanukah candles
Let us remember the grave choices freedom
Illuminates for us.

Values to talk about as you light your Hanukah candles-
Imagine
Hope
Believe
Love
Live
Be
