FROM HANUKKAH TO CHRISTMAS
by Sylvia Maltzman From Hanukkah to Christmas a mere 167 years, a grain of sand on the vast strand of time; an insufficient cup of oil became enough to rekindle the hope of Meshiach, Messiah, the oil-annointed One. And then a baby was born, an insufficient-looking newborn, heralded by a single star, just one celestial ember burning among uncountable others, a lone candle in the heavens. And then, through His mortality, came His gift, His grace, all-sufficient to cleanse the temple of the soul, rebuild the altar of the heart. The holy light has been kindled; tongues of fire have descended on the human menorah in the upper room. O come and adore Him, the Meshiach, the Anointed, the all-sufficient One. Sylvia Maltzman has been writing poetry, short stories, articles and skits since she was 16. Trained as an educator, Sylvia has a fervent desire to bring the Scriptures to life for everyone.
