‘A Little Light’, Said The Jewish Mystics, ‘drives Away Much Darkness.’ And When Light Is Joined

‘A little light’, said the Jewish mystics, ‘drives away much darkness.’ And when light is joined to light, mine to yours and yours to others, the dance of flames, each so small, yet together so intricately beautiful, begins to show that hope is not an illusion… All I can say is what I feel: that the people I have met who have lit candles in other people’s lives have given me the strength to carry on.
