This new ritual transforms what is generally thought of as a chore into a sacred act.

“letters spinning out to form new words, new rites, inviting new voices to weave old songs into new traditions?”

An original blessing of gratitude for when we receive gifts.

Intentions for each day of lighting the Hanukkiyah, connected to the sefirot

This Hanukkah ritual is set in nature and includes eight interactive stations.

This kavanah was written in the wake of multiple acts of mass violence that have made our Hanukkah celebration feel dissonant and fragile.

“Infinite Source of All, / As darkness threatens, / Enable me to join/ The Light of Redemption…”

“I ignite a match and think of our ancestors / as though they were just upstairs…” 

“We were Jewish, we didn’t believe yet still so enthusiastic to receive…”

“Reclaim the holy. Prove it again, one bright flame at a time, one more memory of why we do this.”
