We are all plagued by fears and anxieties, both rational and irrational, founded and unfounded. Often, when we are afraid, we keep our fears to ourselves, letting our inner voices run wild as we play our worst fear on loops. What if I am sick? What if I am not good enough? What if we can’t make it work? Maybe we don’t want to share our fears because fear can be mixed with other complicated emotions like guilt and shame, anger and doubt. Perhaps the story of Hanukkah is teaching us that, even and especially in moments of fear, there is strength in being in the experience of that fear together, and sharing that vulnerability with one another.
