Hanukkah/Chanukkah ... a time of remembering and celebrating... of light in the darkness, of hope in adversity, of miracles and faithfulness.
This photo is my Hannukkiah alight for the last night of Hanukkah two years ago.
Pausing in sadness to think of those who went out to celebrate on Bondi beach, and whose lives are irrevocably changed by the violence they experienced.
There is one golden rule that all belief systems teach: love your neighbour as you love yourself.
We all do well to remember that.
Kyrie eleison.
