by Amy Soule Inspired by Kwanzaa, a festival celebrated by many Black Americans in which each day of the holiday (from December 26 – January 1) is dedicated to a different core principle, my family and I dedicate each of the eight nights of Hanukkah to a different value exemplified by a biblical Jewish woman.
In our home we say, “On this evening, we light a candle for [e.g. justice] exemplified by [e.g. Deborah].”
During a time of the year when it’s easy to be self-centered, remembering these great women who lived thousands of years ago helps me remain Jewishly centered and in touch with the religious aspect of the holiday of Hanukkah.
