There are two kinds of places where life might take you.
Life might take you to a good and happy place, and all the darkness in your world flees before your light.
That’s the light of Shabbat candles.
But sometimes life might take you to a cold and dark place that seems forever.
You might kick and scream, “Get me out of here! I didn’t ask for this, it’s a mistake!”
Yet even there you’ve come for a reason: to find a small spark of hope and goodness within this dark place.
And when you do that, you transform dark into light.
That’s the light of Chanukah.
