Building a Better World

This past year exposed things about our nation that were broken well before the pandemic—racial injustice, inequities in housing and health care, exploitation of workers.

Lighten Up: A Chanukah Hang-out

For the love of a good miracle, on the fourth night of Chanukah, raise a glass to making it through another pandemic year, feast on festive treats, and put your dreidel game to the test during our winner-takes-all tournament. If your post-pandemic conversational skills are a little rusty, prompts from Rabbi Aaron and Rabbi Nora will help you skip the small talk and connect with other Sixth & I’ers—and the holiday itself—in a deeper and more meaningful way.

All I Want for Chanukah is a Christmas Tree

Christmas is coming up, which raises the annual question: Am I a bad Jew if I put up a Christmas tree? Should we consider Christmas trees a deeply religious symbol of Christianity, or simply a festive holiday decoration? With Rabbi Aaron, explore what our ancient rabbis might have to say, ways interfaith families might navigate this dilemma, and how this time of year impacts American Jewish identity at large.
