To all friends of KKSY and
sister congregations,
We are looking towards a Hanukka this year that – like Passover, like Shavuot, like the holidays of Tishrei – will not look like it normally does, will not look like what we wish it could be. But hidden in this peripheral law of Hanukka is a central tenet of what it means to be Jews who place the protection of human life above nearly every other value. Our rites serve God only if they do not willfully harm people, and only if we take responsibility to be sure they do not. May we find ways to celebrate this year that bring both praise to God for the miracles experienced by our ancestors in their time, and safety for our community in ours.
Wishing you all my beloved friends ,
Happy and joyous Hanukka!
Tarphon Kamya
