From usatodayopinion - Public confession: I love Christmas movies. Scandalous, I know, for a rabbi to admit, but I suspect more than a few of my colleagues feel the same way.
Hanukkah, due to its proximity to Christmas, is susceptible to many of the same woes. There is a risk that we will focus too much on the gifts, the parties and vacations and that we will lose focus on what matters: enjoying the time with our families.The story of Hanukkah, like"Home Alone," is a story about courage and doing the right thing. The gifts, the parties, the food – those are fun, but they are not the essence of Hanukkah.
Chloe and I have moved twice in the past decade. Our daughter was born in Calgary, our son in Toronto. Both are lovely communities where we were able to create many relationships. Our families are mostly in Vancouver, so we’ve really been on our own. This has ultimately made us a stronger, more bonded family unit.
In every place we’ve lived, we practiced as a family and created meaningful memories. The last night of Hanukkah in Calgary in 2016 was the first night Eliana slept through the night. A true miracle! In Toronto, when COVID-19 happened, we found comfort in our Hanukkah rituals. We were isolated, but we were together.
