Dear Friends,

 We pray you are safe and well.

As you know, the Jewish Community is celebrating Hanukkah. Today's Meditation is in celebration of Hanukkah and is a song by Debbie Friedman entitled "The Latke Song."

You may know that latkes are like potato pancakes and are a special food for Hanukkah. In the song, Debbie Friedman sings "I am a Latke" and as the song goes on she remembers the homeless and others who are food insecure with whom we are called to share what we have.

We invite you to join us as we commit ourselves to working tirelessly to end systemic and structural racism in our society, in healthcare, in the workplace, in the Church--wherever it shows up so that everyone may come to have more abundant life. May this meditation nourish our contemplative-active hearts and sustain all of us in action.

In the spirit of our philosophy of co-creating community and our awareness that the Spirit speaks through each of us, we invite you to share your meditations with us as well. We truly believe that in God’s economy of abundance, when we share our blessings, our thoughts, our feelings, we are all made richer.

We hope and pray that you and your loved ones experience genuine peace of mind and heart, and remain in good health during this challenging time.

May this Advent Season be a time of peace, of healing and hope, of the infusion of joy in your life!

With our love and care,

Ron & Jean
