by Rabbi Shefa Gold





Let the flame be kindled within me,
Let Your Love burn bright,
I hunger for Your Light,
I hunger for Your Light.

When I light the menorah, I chant these words into the flames, and then visualize the fire being kindled in my Inner Temple. There I do the work of clearing and cleaning and acknowledging whatever desecration has occurred within my energy-body, my Temple. I visualize the flame growing bright inside my Temple to re-dedicate my energy towards Holiness.
