This month of Kislev is the darkest month of the Hebrew calendar. The days are getting shorter, and the nights are longer as we approach the winter solstice at the end of Kislev. The darkest weeks are difficult for many people. Just as these seemingly darkening times have been difficult and heavy. However, in the darkest times, HaShem, in His great kindness and compassion, gives us rays of hope.

One thing I have acquired recently is a sense of focus. It’s something I have felt come upon me about a year and a half ago or so. I am not sure if it is something I learned, a side effect of growing older, or a move of the Spirit in my life. Perhaps it’s bits of all three, nevertheless I feel a sense of responsibility to act on my newfound focus. I need to act on this revelation I received and act in faith for the betterment of our community.
