Light One Candle (Hanukkah: Peter, Paul, and Mary(Hanukkah)

Hello Grafted In Readers,


Today is Thursday, December 7, 2023 in my corner of blog land.

The sun will soon be setting in the nation of Israel at the time of this post. Here is an interesting, intriguing, life paradox:

Chanukah (Hanukkah) 2023 starts at nightfall on December 7, 2023 and ends with nightfall on December 15, 2023.


Most of us are aware that the nation of Israel, is about the size of the United States state of New Jersey; Unfortunately, deep stress, turmoil, and war have been the major facet of its daily life starting on Sabbath -  October 7, 2023.

The word "Hanukah" in Hebrew is translated as feast of dedication in English.  It appears the nation is dedicated in securing safety for its citizens and visitors by continuing to engage in this conflict with an extremist Hamas. Is it fair to use that adjective to describe this group's intent?


As believers in Messiah Yeshua, what are we dedicating our days, our time, ourselves, to?


May HaShem (G-d) grant another miracle similar to the circumstances under which the first Hanukkah was fashioned  in the second century BCE.


Thank you for stopping by to read our latest post. May the presence of HaShem ever be near to unite your heart (formerly understood as mind) to be single in purpose and daily living.

Peaceful and joyful Holidays,

Mellow Rock
