Your Daily Dose of Jewish Wisdom: Envision a deluge over all the earth, hellish waves pounding back and forth, crushing every structure, carrying away every liv...ing being, until no dry land remains, no life endures. This is the world into which you were thrown. The waves are the stress and anxiety of indecision, not knowing which way to turn, on what to rely. Up and down, hot and coldconstantly churning back and forth, sucking the life out of you. The secret you must know is that these are truly peaceful waters. They are called the waters of Noahbecause their energy can be harnessed to achieve true serenity. Do as Noah did and build an ark. Ark in Hebrew is teivahwhich also means a word. Your ark shall be the words of Torah and of prayer, of mitzvahs and of kind deeds. When the waves ragewhether from outside or from within your own heartdirect their power into those harmonious words. Rather than drown you with everything else, let that raw energy of the mighty waters carry you upwardinto a serene world you could never reach without them.

On Chanukah, you could get by lighting one candle each day for the entire household. You could do better and have everyone in the household light one candle eac...h day. But the best, most beautiful way to do the mitzvah of Chanukah is to light one more candle each day than you lit the day before. And this is one mitzvah that the entire Jewish world decided to do in the most beautiful way. Because, when it’s light outside, it’s okay to just do what’s needed. But when it’s dark and cold, we’ve all got to do our very best.
