A Responsive Reading For the End of Hanukkah

With today making the end of Hanukkah, I thought I'd enclose a responsive reading.
Blessed be,
Joel

Hanukkah Lights

We gather in the chill of winter solstice, finding warmth from each other, nourishing hope where reason fails.

Grateful for small miracles, we rejoice in the wonder of light and darkness and the daring of hope.

Holy One of Blessing
Your Presence
fills creation.

You made us holy with Your commandments and called us to kindle the Hanukkah lights.

Holy One of Blessing
Your Presence
fills creation.

You performed miracles for our ancestors in days of old at this season.

Holy One of Blessing
Your Presence
fills creation.

You have kept us alive
You have sustained us
You have brought us
to this moment.
