The Miracle is Now

This mini retreat is included in the MJM monthly membership.

Currently enrolled Talmidim do not need to sign up. :-)

Each year, in the heart of winter, Jews in the Northern Hemisphere light a candle — and then another.
For eight nights, we gather around small flames and remember an ancient story from the kingdom of Judah: how a small group of priests, the Maccabees, rose up against a mighty empire; how the Temple in Jerusalem was reclaimed and rededicated; how a single cruse of oil, thought to be insignificant, burned beyond all expectation.​

​

But what if Chanukah is not only a story about then?
What if it is also a story about now?​

​

The Chasidic master Kedushat Levi teaches that Chanukah is not merely a commemoration of a past miracle. It is a season in which miracles renew themselves — a time when hidden light becomes visible again,

when what seemed exhausted reveals new possibility.

Chanukah invites us to ask:
Where is the oil still burning in our lives?
Where is there light we have forgotten to notice?
What might be rekindled?

This year, more than ever, we are called to remember our own inner flame — and to trust that even the smallest light, kindled with care, can push back great darkness.

​

Join us for a special gathering of Jewish meditation, learning, reflection, and sharing as we explore the deeper meaning of Chanukah together.​

All are welcome — beginners and experienced meditators, newcomers to Jewish texts and seasoned learners alike. Come as you are.

And if this offering speaks to you, consider who else might need its light — and share with them the link.
