Once again Rabbi David put up the Holiday Lights for our neighborhood's entrance.  Last year when he did it for the first time  we thought it was so funny! The Rabbi of the neighborhood was putting up the Christmas lights!  He had no idea what it would entail but took it very seriously. After all it was a mitzvah! (good deed) 

He called a  Christian friend and asked,   "How do the lights stay on the trees? "  She thought the question was pretty hysterical.  "Just start doing it,"  she said "and you will figure it out! "   He enlisted some help from the neighbors as to what kind of lights to buy and also later on to help him with placing the lights on the higher trees.  

He did figure out how the lights stay on the trees and the display turned out beautiful!  In fact, he  enjoyed the process so much he decided to get blue and white lights and decorate our  back yard deck for Chanukah!  

This year at the very end of creating the display,  I was enlisted to help hold the ladder for the high trees.  It was such a beautiful day and so much fun to be inside all the bushes and trees!  When we got back home,  I called out, "Here we are! The neighborhood light decorators!"  Rabbi David laughed and answered with a better description, "We are the Light Workers!"  We both stopped and just looked at each other understanding the significance of his words.   "I guess we really are, aren't we?"   Rabbi David answered, I guess we really are...."  

Many Blessings for All during this Season of Light...
