Second Night  Originally uploaded by heather.

How cool! Heather Champ is posting photographs to Flickr as she lights the candle for each night of Hanukkah…

I think I’ll add them one by one to this post, ceremonially, offering that gesture as a collective lighting of each flame on our virtual menorah. In honor of life, and miracles.

Here’s the whole sequence:

First Night (12/15):

Second Night (12/16):

Third Night (12/17):

Fourth Night (12/18):

Fifth Night (12/19):

Sixth Night (12/20):

(tonight I had the blessing of sharing the prayers that accompany this night’s ritual lighting with my rebel rabbi friend Joel) 

Seventh Night (12/21):

Last Night (12/22):
