This year’s Hanukkah celebrations are over, but we still celebrate Light

This year’s celebration  of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is over — but in these dark days, we still want to celebrate Light. 

Here are some images of Light and Lights in synagogues around Europe — chandeliers and stained glass, and sunlight streaming through windows.

May light help us find our way, and peace and beauty prevail.
