Happy first night of Chanukah to all who celebrate

Happy first night of Chanukah to all who celebrate! (And thank you @rocketscience.events for the heads up that it starts tonight, not tomorrow. It really snuck up on me this year!)

I’d also like to take this time to mention that being Jewish or wishing someone a Happy Chanukah is not (and should not be) political. I have seen many disturbing comments on innocent Chanukah posts about the conflict in Israel. Being Jewish is not synonymous with being pro-Israel or anti-Palestine. Just as being against the atrocities in Israel make anyone less Jewish or inherently anti-Semitic.

On a personal level, I consider myself a very modern, yet observant, Jew. One who grew up in a very religious home but still disagreed with many of the things I was taught in my Orthodox Hebrew school - especially the treatment of women. As I got older, I began to form my own opinions and practice Judaism in a way that felt authentic to me and my personal beliefs and moral compass. I am Jewish, but not a Zionist. That is a big distinction.

The best gift you can give a person of Jewish faith this year is taking the time to read about the conflict and get a sense of how layered and nuanced it is for American Jews and Jews all over the world.

Wishing everyone a year filled with light, love, and hope. Chag Sameach!

Save a horse - ride a cowboy! Headed to Austin this weekend and thought this was the perfect photo. Alexa + Jim are true Chicagoans, but their love of country music (Alexa is a UT grad) brought them together. Can’t wait for their July wedding at @thepeninsulachi!

We had flurries here in Chicago today and it got us reminiscing about C+A’s winter wedding almost five years ago. (Where does the time go?!) Winter weddings really are our favorite!

When you’re not a football fan and your husband

When you’re not a football fan and your husband and son will be screaming at the TV for the next six hours, you curl up with a blanket and Netflix. Is this heaven?
