Editor's Note:
Yehudit, our Chanukah heroine, executes a cunning plan to save her starving town from a siege. She maneuvers her way into enemy ranks and leaves with their general's head under her arm. Displayed at the city gates, it scares off the besieging forces.
A stealthy, quick-witted heroine, a well-devised plot, a gruesome but triumphant finale, the story is thrilling and, well, a little remote. Does the Yehudit brand of heroism elude those of us who are short on plots to save our people?
Perhaps the theme of Chanukah—its celebration of the miraculous, its triumph of light over might, holy over profane, faith over reason—tells us otherwise.
Maybe, like Yehudit, each one of us can concoct our own cunning and stealthy plot—one where we outwit skepticism and sidestep cynicism. Slaying these smug generals, we replace them with faith and wonder, trading in what is merely possible for the truly miraculous.
