As we light the Menorah on this, the last night of Chanukkah, it feels especially symbolic to watch the candles burn brightly one final time this year as we embark on the start of a brand new calendar year.
The Menorah not only signifies light over darkness but according to Jewish belief, the last night of Chanukkah is also when the miracle of the “Festival of Lights” occurred, making tonight feel like a perfect opportunity to pause and reflect on what I want to leave behind from the past year and what I will truly embrace more of in the coming year. It may take a miracle, but today, as I look toward the light, I feel up for the challenge.
2024 has been another really difficult year for me, but I know that by doing whatever I can in my heart to release the things that have been weighing me down will help to create more space for growth, emotional healing, gratitude, moments of joy, balance, clarity, connection and understanding of my “why”.
Thank you again for coming along with me on another crazy year of my journey. May your light continue to shine brighter and stronger than ever before in 2025, and may the year ahead also bring our hostages home, bestowing many miracles upon them, their families, and the State of Israel.
Wishing everyone a better year ahead.
Happy New Year 🎊 Am Yisrael Chai ✡️
