Dear Friend,
Our ancestors gave us powerful Hanukkah rituals, including our
favorite: putting a menorah in the window.
In designing this
year's Hanukkah poster, we worked with artist Eli Dreyfus
to draw on both Jewish ritual and Jewish activism.
In this time of rising authoritarianism, the clenched fists holding
the menorah communicate the urgency of the moment and our
power to respond.
In this time of division in our community, the grasped hands show
we must reach for one another.
And in this time where our opposition wants us to be isolated and
afraid, we remind each other how one candle must light another and
we are all called to action.
We
hope you’ll join our movement-wide ritual of displaying a Hanukkah
poster — in your window, next to your chanukiah, at work, or
wherever feels right.
This year’s art is designed to make us feel powerful,
connected, and defiant. Because the first rule of fighting
tyranny is “Do not obey in advance.”
To free us from authoritarianism, we need acts of
solidarity and defiance — small and large — in every corner
of the country.
Putting a menorah (or Hanukkah poster) in our windows is a way of
sharing our defiance and joy with our neighbors — and lighting the way
to liberation.

Shabbat Shalom from all of us,
