I always enjoy reading your thoughts and perspective on your Jewish experience. You light candles for me.

First, light the darkness, and then fix what’s wrong. That’s the Jewish way of fighting fire with fire. We should follow this lead for it is the best way! Wonderful essay Mal! sammy

....I'll light a candle to that.
Much needed perspective in increasingly desperate times.

I need not tell you that I am very much concerned with the fate of Jews in general and that of Israel in particular. And there is no doubt that the Rebbe was a man who gave light to the world. But we must not forget the many others, whose spirits resonate to a different rhythm, the fighters, the many nameless ones of the Warsaw Ghetto, and later the Ben Gurions, the Moshe Dayans, the Ariel Sharons, and still the Benjamin Netanyahus...
