The Power of Light

By Tzvi Freeman

We all know the power of darkness—it is in the news every day. A thousand times more is the power of light.

A busy person stopping to do an act of kindness, a small child reaching up to kiss the mezuzah on the door of her room, a flickering candle for Shabbat or Chanukah—each of these are as bursts of light in the nighttime sky.

True, they rarely appear in the daily news. But the darkness of yesterday's news will pass like the shadows of clouds while light endures forever, accumulating with every burst, until no room is left for darkness to hide.
