The Miracle of Hannukah 2.0
This year has been a year of miracles. America elected its first African-American President. Michael Phelps (with the help of laid-back Lochte) won 8 gold medals (aka real gelt). And just as I’m sitting in this little coffeeshop, the owner brought over a free pecan-chocolate cake for me to enjoy! Life is filled with miracles, both big and small, and Hanukkah gives us a time to be grateful for these miracles. Which may be why it’s my favorite holiday—we get to eat, we don’t have to go to Temple (sorry Rabbi Abba), we sing songs, we get presents, and we get to bet!
Speaking of betting, here is another miracles- a short video, produced by my 7th grade film class at Kehillat Israel, based on World Poker Tour, in the key of dreidel…
Some may call it a miracle that they were able to produce a video in only three hours. Personally, I am amazed that we live in a time when kids can write, act, and film short videos pieces and then send them all around the world. Here is another video that not only made its way around, but was actually created by users themselves who submitted videos of themselves passing the candle.
Pass the Candle- created by PLP favorite, Michelle Citrin and William Levin.
And for the deaf or hard of hearing:
This Hannukah, I am grateful for the miracles that surround us everyday. As we approach a new year, may we always remember that miracles can happen, we just have to believe…
Happy Hannukah to all!
