Hanukkah, Chanukah, what does it mean to you? To me lights are brights and candles are shmandles. But the meanings are gleaming. Maccabees fighting their way to freedom--just a handful against greater odds. Smaller but mightier. David kills Goliath with one pebble too. Crusaders Fred and Rick the Lion-Hearted deepen their holes and without holding a Torah cannot find their way up and out. People who do not know their right hands from their left hands--if my right hand forgets Jerusalem would I not be able to type? I believe I would not.
Rememberances keen on childhood memories of slamming doors and nasty Nazi neighbors. Remembering the Holocaust and them/us saying it does not exist today. It is over. So they/we say. Wicked is she/he who uses "they" instead of "we." Wicked is one who says "you" and points a finger. Wicked is one who says "I" at all. Hug yourself or hug others? "I love myself" or/and "I love you." Or/and is confusion? Or is it all inclusive. Is it wrong to be all inclusive--must one be exiled? If one is exiled does she/he get more or less? It depends on who gives it out; but does it also depend on who accepts it?
"Equal rights," is it a fairy tale? A phrase on one's lips that will never come to be? It sounds nice, but is Equal Equitable? Or should these questions not ever be asked. 4 questions comes on Passover--but if one is not a child, should she/he still ask? One is either a child or a servant--there are no others. I am a child; I am my mother's and father's child and a child of God and always will be. Selah.
