Keeping our light alive at the end of a dark year

Dear friends,

This year is ending as it started, with our world at war, with hostages held in inhuman conditions and tens of thousands killed in Gaza, many thousands displaced on both sides of the border and grieving. We are ending as we started, renewing our hope each day for an end to the war, recommitting to do everything in our power to show the rest of the country and the rest of the world that peace is both possible and necessary. To show, through actions, teaching and example, that true peace will only be possible once we learn to respect one another and once we can achieve true equaltity between our peoples.

As you can see from the links below, our year has also been one of advance, of celebration, education, new beginnings and continued traditions.

We wish everyone a a new year of peace, health and happiness, healing of wounds and working together to heal the world.
