As summer begins and goodbyes start piling up, Rabbi Oren Hayon turns to Aretha Franklin’s “Call Me” and the menorah in Parashat Beha’alotcha to explore what it really means to love someone enough to let go. Drawing on Rashi’s teaching that Aaron must kindle the menorah “until the flame rises by itself,” Rabbi Hayon reflects on parenting, teaching, mentoring, and all the tender moments when we step back and trust the light we’ve helped ignite in others. Whether you’re sending a child to camp, watching a student graduate, or navigating your own next chapter, Rabbi Hayon invites you to see those goodbyes not just as loss, but as the holiest completion of love.
