@cainmark It is!!! This was the 5th year of the festival for our town.
The first year there were maybe 50 people walking on the sidewalk with flashlights. Paper lanterns came along the following year, with about 200 people. Then the crowds got so big that we paraded in the street.
It’s great to look forward to it when the days are short and the skies are always gray.

20 more days to get through before the end of January. Something needs to be done to make January more palatable. We need a special day. Perhaps a day off work and we all have to go and volunteer somewhere. Or a party in the nearest park.
"The #winter moon has always struck me as having a #fairytale sort of beauty. In these days of #midwinter, for those of us in the #Northeast, the brightness of the #moon is even starker and more visible without the leaves on the tree branches. In this season of the #Jewishcalendar, post-#Hanukkah and pre-#TuBishvat, the long post-#solstice nights seem to invite dreaming and stories.
What #stories does #Jewish tradition tell about the moon?
In the #Talmud (Chullin 60b), there’s a tale about the moon and the #sun. The #story goes like this: Once, at the dawn of creation, the moon and the sun were equally bright. (It’s fun to try to imagine what that might have looked like.) The moon wasn’t happy about this sameness and complained to the Holy One, saying, “Is it possible for two kings to wear a single crown?” The moon seemed to imply that she should be made bigger.
The Holy One responded to this request by making the moon smaller..."
