Shine Your Light

Dear MM Friends,

Hanukkah begins on December 7th, and with all the violence and tragedy happening right now, it seemed very important to take a moment to share our support with our customers and friends as they approach this holiday. I found this excerpt on Aish.com and wanted to share it with all of you.

Let's take the light that shines within us and share it with others, so that together we can light up our world.

Hanukkah is the holiday of dedication or actually more specifically re-dedication. With the pure light of the menorah once again burning in the Temple, we recommit ourselves to the values it represents. We rededicate ourselves to connecting with the Almighty and to following His Torah. We remind ourselves that despite the darkness around us, there will always be light.

This message is a timeless one that resonates anew this year. And its not enough to think it, to know it, to write it, even to discuss it with family members. This is a re-dedication that we need to shout from the rooftops or more practically from the lit menorah in our living room windows. Because its an idea that we want and are obligated to share with the rest of the world.

We appreciate each of you being the lights in our journey, and we pray for peace in our world.

Cynthia
