As the story relates: Amid the rubble of the desecrated Temple, a tiny drop of oil was found. The drop of oil was lit not knowing what would be -- and it burned brighter and longer than anyone thought possible.

Chanukah encourages us to lift up the light, even when so much lies in ruin.

Chanukah calls us to act even as we do not know if our actions will bring the results we long for.

Chanukah declares, do not get stuck in despair. Remember that a small act can bring great blessing.

Chanukah says, act for the sake of the sacred. Act with reverence and love.

Miracles abound and so much is possible.

Chanukah Blessings to All.

Rabbi Yael Levy
