Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating, and warm holiday wishes to all of you, whatever your traditions look like this time of year.
Hanukkah always strikes me as a quietly powerful reminder that light is not just something we admire. It is something we practice. One candle becomes two, then four, then eight, and suddenly the darkness looks a lot less permanent. That feels especially relevant in a world that’s loud, fast, and occasionally unkind. Small acts of courage, gratitude, and generosity add up.
To my readers and friends, thank you for being here. Thank you for your curiosity, your thoughtful comments, and the way you keep learning in public. May your season be filled with meaningful rest, good conversations, and the kind of light you can carry into the new year.
Chag Sameach. Happy Holidays.
