“In times of hatred, / let there be light. / In times of fear,    let there be light…”

“Create new homes / And save the old ones. / Light candles, Now.”

“I see reflected in the light the faces of my family. / I see hope.”

“The story’s flame, its lesson bold: Through vast trials, the soul can soar / and the light will shine forevermore.”

“May we protect just laws, and may our resistance to unjust laws or unjust systems be firm.”

Listen to Karen Webber’s ‘Frying a Soulful Latke,’ a Hanukkah poem from her series ‘Enkindle.’

“As the candles descend / we are reminded / that nothing is /permanent / other than the Love of Hashem…”

“Each night is a small miracle unto itself…”

“You said I should always feel proud—/Why wouldn’t I let my best friend know?”
