We
were barely finished with our Thanksgiving meal when our thoughts were focused
on another Holiday---Chanukah. This
Holiday also celebrates the freedom to be able to worship G-d.
It is a tradition
at Chanukah to gather with our families, and at Kerem El that is just
what we did. We brought our Chanukiyahs with us on Friday night, and as a family we sang the blessings
and lit the candles together. The
warm glow of the candles brought to mind the joy of knowing our Messiah
and the joy of celebrating the freedom to worship Him.
Our congregation
has been presented with the beautiful gift of a
banner. This banner was made by one of our congregational family
members. How beautiful it
looks hanging in our synagogue. On
the banner are grapes of gold on a deep green background.
Kerem El means “Vineyard of G-d.”
Therefore, the grapes are very special to us.
Shortly after the
last day of Chanukah, we will be packing our suitcases and going to the 18th
Annual Southeast Regional MJAA Conference in Orlando. The theme this year is “L’Chaim: To Life.”
We are looking forward to a blessed time in the L-rd as we spend
time with our extended families praising our Messiah in song, dance and
through the Holy Spirit.
It really is hard
to believe that we have seen another year go by.
We look forward to our next year at Kerem El and all that G-d will
do.
Hope to see you
at the conference,
Roberta
