Letting in the Light -- Illuminating Jewish Traditions

Light plays a role in Judaism, as a powerful positive symbol for God, wisdom, goodness, and the human soul. "Let there be light" is the first act of divine creation in Genesis. We light candles on Shabbat and on Hanukkah -- the Festival of Lights. And an Eternal Light -- Ner Tamid -- hangs in front of the Ark in synagogues. In this video, we celebrate light, with images of how light features in synagogues: the Ner Tamid that hangs in front of the Ark; candelabra and chandeliers; and sunlight illuminating facades or streaming through windows and stained glass.
