Each night of Hanukkah is an opportunity to increase light in the world.
Our sages understood the spiritual power of responding to darkness with an increase of light. They taught that we should add a candle each night—growing illumination, hope, and presence.
8 Lights is a simple, heart-centered guide to help you bring more mindfulness and conversation to each night of Hanukkah.
Whether you’re seeking a moment of quiet during this busy season or want to deepen your experience of this festival, these prompts offer a meaningful way to add to your festival of light.
Hanukkah begins Sunday December 14th!
PLUS: You’ll have the opportunity to share your Hanukkah photos and reflections with others in our new private social media space!
Each night in this *free* Hanukkah guide offers:
A question to spark reflection or conversation, and
A brief Mindfulness Moment to help you slow down and notice the light within and around you.
In these dark days, it is a holy task to bring light into our world. We will look at increasing light through gratitude, memory, creativity and joy this Hanukkah season. Humans are light-bearers. BE the light this season. Rabbi Jill Zimmerman
