Weekly Message From Rabbi Birkeland
Dear Friends, As winter comes in swinging, and the days are as short as can be, I want to wish everyone a Happy Chanukah, filled with warmth and light. Perhaps the most widely celebrated of all Jewish holidays, Chanukah stands as a testament to the dedication and resilience of the Jewish people to uphold their traditions even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This is certainly true at Stanton where we have been coming together for more than one hundred years to build community, centered around our tradition, even as the world around us continues to turn and shift in every which way. As the Maccabees fought to rededicate the Temple and to practice Judaism on their own terms, so too we at Stanton continue in the cause to provide a spiritual home and center, and to promote our Jewish vision where “all are welcome, all feel welcome”. And so whether you will be celebrating with family or friends, eating latkes with sour cream or applesauce, or lighting a menorah with candles or oil, may the lights of Chanukah sustain you through this winter and bring joy to you and your loved ones. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom, Rabbi Birkeland

Attend an Upcoming Jewish Art Exhibit, Featuring Community Member David Wander
We are shaking from the ongoing war in Israel. Israeli citizens, among them Americans, are still hostages in Gaza. You can find information on them and on their families' efforts to release them here. Over 1,800 Israelis are dead with many more wounded. There are also innocent civilians caught in the line of fire in Gaza and Lebanon.
This has been an unprecedented and the most deadly attack on Israel in a generation. We must take action!
In addition to our prayers, we ask you to consider making a generous donation to one of the listed causes.
The One who makes peace on high, may He bring peace down below to us. Amen
