Chag Sameach — may the laws of the lighting be kept and the spirit behind them kept even more carefully.

Wishing you a Festival of Lights where Al HaNissim slips into the Amidah without anyone needing reminding.

May the candles you kindle this Hanukkah carry the weight of every generation that kindled them before you.

Chag Urim Sameach — may your menorah stand in the window the way our tradition asks of us.
