Some thoughts: On Miracles and Hope

ome time ago I gave a sermon on what I called, “the real miracle of It was FDR who famously said in his inauguration speech in 1933 at an SChanukah.” My contention was that the “real” Chanukah miracle even darker period in American history, “the only thing we have to fear was not that the oil, which was only enough to last one day – lasted is fear itself! Nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes eight days, but that the Maccabees lit the menorah at all. What would needed efforts to convert retreat into advance…” you have done confronted with the dilemma that it would take a week to produce a new supply of consecrated oil and in the meantime you It is no less true today. Fear – paralyzes the needed efforts to convert only had enough oil to last for one day. retreat into advance. I am sure that is what our ancestors felt at the shore of the Red Sea – paralyzing fear – until Nachshon put his foot into If you think about it – it was rather a useless gesture. They were the water and the sea split. I am sure that is what the Maccabees felt confronted with two choices – wait a week until they had renewed confronted with the overwhelming task of rebuilding the Temple with their supplies of consecrated oil – or light the supply they had – which no supplies and little strength left – but then they decided to light the would burn out after one day and then wait for a week in darkness menorah and a miracle occurred. for the new supplies to arrive. Given the choice wouldn’t the sensible choice have been just to wait until they could do it right? In each of these cases the miracle was not the result of some heroic effort on our part – but a effortless step into the sea, and a simple act But, they did not wait. And because they chose to act despite all reason of hope – kindle the light and leave the rest to God. – we celebrate Chanukah. So was the real Chanukah miracle that oil that lasted longer than it was supposed to or that Jews chose to light We have many challenges that confront us and demand our response. that menorah at all? Gun control, election reform, and political activism to demand better representatives who are prepared to do the work we send them to I believe we have lost the true meaning of miracles. Yes, miracles are Washington to do. But the choice is ours whether to be paralyzed by “wow” moments when something incredible happens. But who is the fear – or to kindle one little light that enables the miracle to happen. one doing something incredible? Tuesday, November 6 is Election Day. Vote! Most of us imagine miracles as moments when we are passive and God is active and we just stand idly by as we witness the limitless power We can disagree about whom to vote for, but there is no disagreement of God; we are wowed by God. The more traditional Jewish notion of on the importance of voting. An American who does not exercise miracles is that we act and God is wowed by our faith to react.God the right to vote is an embarrassment. A Jew who does not exercise responds to the limitless ability of human optimism and hope. God the right to vote has not learned anything from 4000 years of Jewish does not inspire us – we inspire God. survival. Think of the miracle of the Red Sea. Most of us imagine the people Vote! standing around waiting as God does all the hard work. But the midrash When Nachshon put his toe in the water – did he imagine he was describes a very different scene. In the midrash - at first the people are about to change the world? When the Maccabees gathered to light indeed just standing around with the sea before them and Pharaoh’s the menorah did they have an inking that their simple gesture would troops closing in fast. But then Nachshon ben Aminadav acts – he begins reverberate throughout the ages? walking straight into the sea – and when the water is literally about to The miracle of Chanukah is not that God was able to make oil last for drown him, almost over his head, then God acts, splits the sea and the more days then it should – that is child’s play for God. No, the miracle children of Israel pass through safely on dry land. God is inspired by of Chanukah is that God created people who have the capacity to Nachshon’s faith. God is moved by our belief in the possibility of hope. dream and to hope – to believe in each other and in God and to use the No matter where we look in our contemporary world there seems to power of that belief to forge a better world. Of course God can perform be a malaise – a cynicism, a negativity. We don’t feel that the economy miracles. But we Jews believe in something even more incredible, that is as good as they keep telling us it is.

Maybe someone from our own community is one of gatherings and the fun, my favorite part is lighting the candles. these individuals – perhaps it is you. There is something about the light that fills my heart and warms This year when you light Chanukah candles with friends and family, my soul in a way that is difficult to put in to words. I invite you to think about the ways that the light can inspire you After lighting Chanukah candles each night a passage from the to greater action in support of our community, our people and the Talmudic Tractate Soferim is recited. It is a warning to the members world. How will the 36 lights of this year’s Chanukiah symbolize to of the household not to use the lights of all around us our capacity to be miracle the Chanukiah. “For all eight nights these workers in our everyday lives and what candles are sanctified and no one may use What do Chanukah lights are the actions we will take to make that them except to look at them, and to be symbolize?...

That is why we can inspire you to greater action place them near the doorway or in a in support of our community, our Rabbi Uri D. Allen window – to be a symbol for passersby. people and the world. What do Chanukah lights symbolize? The simplest answer is that they represent Rabbi Uri D. Allen the miracle of the single cruse of oil lasting eight days instead of one. They symbolize light and hope in the darkest and coldest season of the year. And they recall our past wherein God was miraculously there for us in our struggle against oppressors, and so we are reminded that God may yet play that role for us again. The lights make me think about a deeper symbolism as well and that is the unrevealed capacity in each of us to be miracle makers too. Over the course of the 8-day celebration we will light 36 total Friday candles (not including the shamash). According to the Talmud NIGHT LIVE! (Sanhedrin 97b and Sukkah 45b) in every generation, there are 36 righteous individuals who sustain the world. By their actions and by their merit everything continues to exist and go on as normal.
