Dear Readers,
We're excited to share our new "Chanukah" magazine, which is filled with inspiring ideas and stories about how Jewish women shine a powerful light into the world.
Since October 7th, we desperately need the glow of the menorah to brighten our lives now more than ever. Personally, Chanukah holds a special place in my heart. It's a time of warmth and hope. It's also a season that invites us to pause from the chaos and reflect on the many miracles and blessings in our lives.
The story of Chanukah–how a small band of Maccabees overcame the odds and a single jar of oil burned for eight days—is the Jewish people's story. It's a celebration of ancient wonders and the wonders that continue to unfold today.
In this issue, we've focused on the theme of light and the power of Jewish women, highlighting that the first Maccabee was a young girl named Chana. We also feature modern-day Maccabees who harness the power of technology to advance ancient traditions.
We encourage you to become a Maccabee yourself and help spread the light. Please share this magazine with friends and invite them to light a menorah and attend local Chanukah events.
Please join us for our menorah lighting at ....
Wishing you a happy Chanukah
Rabbi and Mrs. …
