 \, Central Reform Temple of Boston will open the doors of its shared home 
 at Emmanuel Church 15 Newbury Street for &ldquo\;A Light Through the Ages\
 ,&rdquo\;  a Chanukah celebration of love\, family\, hope and peace. Prese
 nted by Central Reform Temple and featuring musicians from Emmanuel Music\
 , this free holiday concert celebrates Chanukah's deep spiritual meaning t
 hrough story and song and explores messages of major contemporary importan
 ce for people of all ages and backgrounds.\nThe original text of &ldquo\;A
  Light Through the Ages\,&rdquo\; written by Rabbi Howard A. Berman\, was 
 first performed in New York City 35 years ago\, and provides a chronicle o
 f the holiday from different times and places over the centuries. Choral s
 elections of traditional and contemporary holiday music highlight the narr
 ative\, and the program concludes with a dramatic candlelight ceremony.\nC
 hanukah\, the eight day &ldquo\;Festival of Lights\,&rdquo\; commemorates 
 the victorious struggle for religious freedom by the Jewish people in the 
 face of oppression in 165 B.C.E. It is also linked to the universal Winter
  Solstice festivals that have been observed by many faiths and cultures th
 roughout history\, celebrating light and warmth in the midst of the season
 's darkness. It has long been a beloved family tradition affirming faith a
 nd hope. In modern times\, the festival has emerged as a major expression 
 of the Jewish spiritual presence in the midst of the December holiday seas
 on\, which reflects the rich diversity of American society. Today\, Chanuk
 ah is widely recognized and embraced by people of all faiths as a major di
 mension of this shared time of celebration and its universal ideals of joy
  and peace.\nFor more information\, visit alightthroughtheages.org/
