Hanukkah, Identity, and the Quiet Power of Ritual

In this powerful Hanukkah sermon, Rabbi Eleanor Steinman reflects on ancient history, modern Jewish identity, and the enduring power of Jewish ritual as both defiance and tenderness.

Beginning with recent archaeological discoveries near Jerusalem that echo the battles of Judah Maccabee, Rabbi Steinman weaves together the Hasmonean Revolt, contemporary Jewish life, and the teachings of Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan’s Judaism as a Civilization.

As Jew hatred rises, she reminds us that Judaism has survived because it has never been just one thing — not only belief, but culture, peoplehood, language, memory, and light.

🕯️ The menorah, she teaches, is not about triumph —
It is about identity, continuity, and bringing light under pressure.

What unfinished conversations or unresolved struggles do we carry with us?

In this week’s powerful sermon, “Wrestling With the Past,” Rabbi Will Hall explores Jacob’s mysterious night-long struggle in Parashat Vayishlach—and what it teaches us about courage, honesty, and transformation.

As we come out of Thanksgiving and into Shabbat, Rabbi Hall reminds us that the truths we avoid do not disappear… they wait for us.

✨ What does it mean to face what we fear?
✨ How do we repair relationships that feel too heavy or too old to revisit?
✨ And how do we emerge from struggle more whole?

Shabbat shalom.
