Be the Light: 100 for 100

Happy Hannukah to all of you. We had hoped for a true Hannukah miracle that would have allowed all the living hostages to be lighting candles with their families tonight. That does not now seem likely.

100 hostages — the living and the dead — are still in Gaza as I write this. Tonight, and for all eight nights, let’s dedicate the light to their return.

We all of us need more light in these dark days — both literally and figuratively. The hostages need light shown on them as much as we possibly can.

Please join us on Sunday to offer up our Hannukah light here in Boulder, and to stand together in our call to bring them home now.

I’ve attached an additional Hannukah prayer put out by the Hostage and Family Forum, along with our weekly flyer, which I hope you will share widely.

Hannukah sameach,
Rachel

PS: There are 231 active Run For Their Lives groups across the world. Wherever you are, whether visiting friends or family or vacationing, you can join a group and walk with them, or walk on your own and post a video in the main Run For Their Lives Facebook group, in our local FB group, or on your own feeds. The initiative’s goal is to get as much press coverage as possible for the hostages through publicizing these walks. 

Friends. 

The Hostages will not be home for Hanukkah.
Our task now? Don’t Let the Lights Go Out. 
It’s not just a Song, it’s a call to Action. 

This Sunday 
SING WITH YOUR FEET

Happy Hanukah

Our group meets at 1 pm on the corner of Pearl & 8th and walks the length of the Pearl Street Mall and back, stopping at the courthouse for a brief video that the leads of Run For Their Lives include in their weekly recap. The goal is to share the message far and wide (specifically via social media) that the hostages have not been forgotten. This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.

When: Sunday, December 29th at 1 pm
Meet-up: Corner of Pearl & 8th Street
