CREATING LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Our program will feature a Shabbat and last day of Hanukkah service that acknowledges the darkness of the season. We will explore the different ways we dispel darkness—both literally and metaphorically. We will end with a 15-minute guided mandala meditation about impermanence, which is what time and the seasons are all about.
