Lilli Jennison's Chanukah Message for 2023

Be A Light

In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light

In a place that needs change, make a difference
In a time full of noise, just listen
‘Cause life is but a breeze, better live it
In a place that needs a change, make a difference
– Excerpt from the song “Be a Light” by Thomas Rhett

In a world full of hate, be a light. There is so much hate in the world right now, here are 8 small ways you can be a light.
1: Smile and give someone a genuine compliment.
2: Apologize when necessary
3: Share your talents with the community
4: Send cards or presents to a children’s hospital or retirement home.
5: Donate items you no longer have use for to someone who can use them.
6: Volunteer your time.
7: Be a listening ear to someone who needs to talk.
8: Be nice
