Last night began the Jewish celebration on
Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish friends.
I watched a documentary on TV last night about the celebration and felt such gratitude that we are free to worship in the faith of our choice in this country.
Yes many are persecuted because of their faith, but we are still free to choose.
This is a huge banner that hangs in the Visitors Center when I volunteer each week.
Years ago when I was very young, we were not encouraged to investigate and study about other religions.
Thank goodness that is not the case today.
One of my most favorite movies is
Fiddler on the Roof
which gives a great representation and reverence to the Jewish religion and tradition.
Being an associate of The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth has opened up many opportunities to learn and even meet members of other faiths through the annual Festival of Faith that takes place each fall in Louisville, Ky.
I have heard and seen Buddist rites which were very impressive. Had a chance to attend a Sedar Supper and was allowed to look inside an Islamic Mosque once.
All religions of the world have fanatics that give the entire membership a bad name.
The Prayer for Peace
