Dear all,
Ron and I were checking out of the grocery store when the cashier wished me a “Happy Hanukkah.”
I looked to Ron and asked, “How did she know I was Jewish?” Ron responded, “Have you looked in the mirror recently?”
(Yes … I had forgotten I was wearing this dreidel mask!)
But it made me think … For those who are Jewish: how does your being Jewish manifest itself during this season? What thoughts are deepened? What traditions are nurtured? What cultural ties are more visible?
This season offers a moment in time to allow your Jewish light to shine. We come from an awesome and unique history. Our time on earth is a milestone in the journey of our people. It’s one thing to just fit in. It’s another to be a landmark on the roadmap of Judaism!
With love and Shalom,
Rabbi Zach Shapiro
