**Ceremony & Celebration Family Edition, Maggid Books, 2023:**
The symbol of Hanukka is the *chanukiah* we light for eight days in memory of the Temple Menora, purified and rededicated by the Maccabees all those centuries ago. Faith is like a flame. Properly tended, it gives light and warmth, but let loose, it can burn and destroy. We need, in the 21st century, a global Hanukka: a festival of freedom for all the world’s faiths. For though my faith is not yours and your faith is not mine, if we are each free to light our own flame, together we can banish some of the darkness of the world.
