Pawel Kromholz gazes into the Menorah's flickering lights and wife Barbara Greenberg listens as Martijn offers with heartfelt sincerity the following traditional prayer on the first night of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights: "Blessed are thou, Adonai, great creator, who has sanctified us by your commandments and directed us to light the Hanukkah lights.Blessed are thou, Adonai, great creator, who has performed miracles for our ancestors in times of old at this time of year." On the first night of Hanukkah there is an additional prayer: "Thanks be to you, Adonai, great creator, for keeping us alive and in good health and for bringing us together." That certainly says it all. May the lights burn bright for each of you and your loved ones whatever faith you follow during this season of magic and mystery.

Happy Hanukkah, It's nice to see you are having a wonderful holiday with family and friends. You both seem to be a good place now. I pray everything continues to go well. Taking each day as it comes has its merits. Love and miss you both. Rosalind
Happy Hannukah Suze. I actually had trouble obtaining candles at my supermarket and the CVS. It is good to see your sweetheart saying the prayers. Silly me, I say them for the dogs. Rosie wags her tail in appreciation and gabriel looked from her to me like " What's going on? "
Please ...good hugs to one another from me in absentia. xoxoxox
Healing, Love and LIGHT. Bonnie
