Shalom everyone,
This past month we witnessed democracy at its finest. The sheer number of people who turned out to vote, and a big “thank you” if you were one of them, was phenom-enal. America was like a bear awakening from hibernation in the Spring. The ability to elect our governing bodies at all levels, starting from the city/town/village, to the county, to the state, all the way to the feder-al government has been a long held cher-ished right. A privilege that was one of our country’s founding principles and by infer-ence can be said to be representative of be-ing a “free” nation. As we each kindle the lights of Hanukkah this year and celebrate the rededication of the 2nd Temple, let us remember both the freedoms that democra-cy affords us and the brave Maccabees who fought for the right to practice Judaism. May the dancing flames warm our spirits and fill our hearts with hope that someday everyone will be free.
