🕎 Spreading the Light of Peace in 2025
This Chanukah, you bring more light into the world with every candle you kindle.
As your Chanukiah (Chanukah menorah) glows, take a quiet moment to feel the comfort that hope, resilience, and togetherness can bring. Each small flame reminds us that kindness matters. A kind word, a helping hand, a moment of patience—all of it brightens the world around us.
The Energy of Community
At Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks, Chanukah is a time to celebrate together. When we combine our light, our laughter, and our love, we create a glow that lifts spirits and fills the season with warmth and meaning. This is the magic of community — stronger, brighter, and more connected than ever.

This Chanukah, take time to breathe deeply, connect meaningfully, and let your inner light guide your actions.
Shine Brighter Than Ever
This year, celebrate the miracles, spread the light, and let your spirit shine so brightly that others can’t help but smile.
May your Chanukah be filled with warmth, joy, connection, and peace. ✨
