FROM RABBI MORRISON
Kislev is upon us - Thinking About Chanukah
Dear Congregational Family,
For which miracle was Chanukah established as a holiday? This is the question Rashi poses as his interpretation on the Talmudic question, "What is Chanukah?"
The Chanukah prayer "Al Hanisim - For The miracles" already suggests many miracles associated with the holiday. These include the miracle of the oil lasting eight days; the many falling into the hands of the few; the victory over Hellenistic culture; the observation of light dispelling darkness; the perpetuation of Judaism, and more.
This year's Chanukah will be unprecedented, given the pandemic which continues to surround us. Nevertheless, we should try to enumerate the miracles and great happenings for which we are grateful: our health, our families, our homes, our safety, our being able to connect through social media, our virtual synagogue programming, our abilities to practice Judaism freely, and more.
While our shul will try to have physical and on line programming, the privacy of the home is the intended arena for Chanukah observance. The Mitzvah of lighting the Chanukiah and showing it to the world is observed from the location of one's home.
This year, more than ever, let us be grateful for the miracle of our homes and our families. Whether or not public facilities are allowed to be open, it is the celebration of Jewish pride from our homes which has preserved the light of Judaism for thousands of years.
I wish everyone a safe and joyous Chanukah. Chag Urim Sameach.

In our new norm with online Clergy led private services, Divrei Torah, Torah Readings, Cantorial Music, Rabbi Lectures and Classes, you too can also sponsor one of these weekly online live sessions in honour of your Simchas or in memory of your loved ones.
Your generous sponsorship will be included in the weekly e-blast, as well as mentioned by the clergy at the beginning and end of the online live session you are sponsoring. While we are temporarily closed due to this health crisis, it is imperative we continue to keep our synagogue operating at this time thereby ensuring we are able to once again open our doors to you - our dedicated members, and to the Jewish community when it is viable to do so.
The Executive, Board and Clergy thank you for your continued support during this difficult time. Best wishes for a healthy and safe Shabbat.
