Chanukah begins in the darkest month of the year. We light the menorah (hanukkiah) for eight nights but we begin with just one. Each night, we increase the light by adding one new candle. Chanukah means “rededication.” Tonight, we dedicate our lighting to those in our lives who have made a difference or are making …
Tonight we light the 3rd candle of Hanukkah. The story of Hanukkah is that even in the darkest of times, we make light. The tradition is that we light a new candle for each of the 8 nights of the holiday, thereby increasing the light each night. The rabbis understood that light was not just …
I have a prediction. If you think the last two years have been wild, hold on to your hat. Things are about to get much more rocky. Can you feel it?

Tonight we light the 4th candle of Chanukah. Our discussion question tonight should be SUPER FUN: What four foods are comforting to you (bring you light). They don’t *have* to be Chanukah food, but if that is what comes to mind, all the more perfect. When I published a Zimmerman Family Cookbook many years ago, …
Tonight we light the 3rd candle. The question is: What three musicians, poets or artists give you inspiration? My 3 are*: 1) Chava Mirel whose voice and soul touches mine very deeply.
