Happy Chanukah!

THE BIG IDEA

It doesn’t take a spiritual genius to know that over the last year the jewish people, in Israel and around the world, have been going through some dark times. 

Each of us, in our own way, sold out and enslaved by divisive ways of thinking… about each other, the land of Israel, jewish governance, and our place in the whole. 

The Joseph story, amplified by the lights of chanukah, is our chance to ACTUALLY take the hint and awaken. This is the best time of the year to accept responsibility for the unconscious jealousies and betrayals we all try to justify in our minds – and, like the brothers, admit to the ways our unprocessed judgements and hatred have weakened us all.

So this year … let’s ALL just admit - that while, yes, we are all poor misunderstood Joseph.… but ALSO WE ARE the brothers that need to wake up and admit we created our own negative karma through our negativity, and learn from Joseph’s ability to see the divine, no matter where he was in life… jail.. or second in command.

This Shabbat Chanukah is the ideal time to reignite and reconnect and reaffirm the light that is bigger than your own… and dream in a better way.
