Sunday Reflection: A light in darkness
Tomorrow is the last day of Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday that commemorates a small store of oil providing light for eight days, and the re-dedication of the Second Temple during the Maccabean revolt. It's not a major religious holiday, but has a strong cultural significance for many Jews.
At the center of the holiday is the lighting of candles in a menorah. And there is something so simple and beautiful about that, especially in the darkest time of the year.
There is this truth to all of this: a little light is most important when things are darkest.
And this is the time to be that light.
