Every human soul is a divine lamp (Proverbs 20:27)

Tonight, as I light the Chanukah menorah, I’m going to make a promise to myself to be a lamp. I’m weary from all the hateful antisemitic darkness and tired of all the malcontents who try to stamp out my light. And somewhere along the way, the haters succeeded in dimming it. As each candle wick unfurls its glow over the next eight nights, I will pray for a new way forward, because I need to be a lamp. We all need to be a lamp.

Let us globalize the light.
