Holidays, at the best of times, bring an array of emotions, expectations and experiences, and how much more so with the challenges and uncertainties of this past year.
Break through how you learned to see.
Break through the confines of rational thought.
Tonight, at sunset we enter the month of Kislev.
This month calls us to welcome the darkness,
