Like a boat passing through water, your words, choices, and faith leave something behind — in your family, your community, and ultimately in how you are remembered when your life is over.

In this teaching from the Torah, we reflect on God’s sobering and beautiful command:

“Be holy, for I am holy.”

From Genesis to Deuteronomy, Scripture shows us that holiness is not about perfection, but about direction — about the kind of wake a life leaves behind. Abraham, Moses, Israel in the wilderness — each left a wake that shaped generations, for blessing or for loss.

This message gently but honestly asks:

• What are you leaving behind right now?
• What will remain after you’re gone?
• And how can the time we still have be redeemed?
• This is not a message of fear — it is a pastoral invitation to walk with God, to choose life, and to leave a wake that reflects His goodness.

Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication, is more than a Jewish holiday—it is a story of faithfulness, courage, and God’s sustaining light. In this teaching, we explore how to celebrate Hanukkah, where the traditions come from, and why they continue to matter for both Jewish and Christian seekers today.

We walk through the historical events of the Maccabean period, the rededication of the Temple, and the symbolism of the menorah, showing how Hanukkah points to themes of faith under pressure, God’s presence in darkness, and dedication of the heart. You’ll learn practical ways to observe Hanukkah—lighting the candles, blessings, food traditions, and reflections—while also discovering how these practices connect to Scripture and the wider biblical story.

Whether you are Jewish, Christian, or simply seeking to walk more deeply in the faith of the Bible, this episode invites you to step into the rhythms of God’s people and rediscover the meaning of light that endures.
