ADULT EDUCATION:

HANUKKAH CLASS

Wednesday, December 10

7 - 8:15pm

We are pleased to announce a new series of classes scheduled before an upcoming

holiday to facilitate learning and new insights. Critical discussion and participation are welcomed.

Please join Rabbis Ben and Shosh on Wednesday Dec 10, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:15PM in person or on zoom to start our series off with Hanukkah. Readings and discussions will center on the following:

(Rabbi Ben): Rededication After Burnout

Hanukkah begins in a ruined sanctuary. We’ll explore how the story becomes a guide for our own moments of overwhelm: how to clear space, relight what feels dim, and rebuild a practice or inner life that’s taken some hits. Using mystical texts, we’ll look at what it means to choose renewal even when the oil feels low.

(Rabbi Shosh): Light, Dark, and the Wisdom of Both Beyond the simple light-versus-dark story, the tradition teaches a non-binary, paradox-friendly view of reality: creation needs both clarity and mystery, presence and rest. Through Hasidic and mystical teachings, we’ll explore how to welcome the gifts of darkness while honoring the power of light, and how holding both can deepen our lives.

Registration is required. Please use this link to register.

Hope to see you there.
