SHAAREI TIKVAH/ CHANUKAH <strong>2009</strong><br />
3<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
We are happy to present “Shaarei Tikvah: <strong>Chanukah</strong>”, a compilation<br />
of inspirational articles featured in our magazine.<br />
Since the inception of A TIME sixteen years ago our mission has<br />
remained the same; to dispel darkness and bring light into your lives.<br />
Just as the founding of A TIME was a flicker of light in complete<br />
darkness, so too every one of our services and programs is designed<br />
to illuminate and shorten your journey.<br />
The Institute of Halacha and Technology offers a bright light in<br />
the world of infertility. Rabbonim can now address the most complex<br />
medical shailos with complete understanding of the latest technology.<br />
Mandating insurance coverage for fertility treatments was the result<br />
of extensive lobbying and hard work. Today, it is B”H yet another<br />
beacon of light in the darkness.<br />
Beautiful Shabbatons, mashgichos in the leading medical centers,<br />
support groups, libraries, get-togethers, and medical events are all<br />
shining lights; all made possible by a group of individuals who had<br />
experienced the darkness, but hoped to light the way for others.<br />
Our experienced helpline staff, devoted volunteers, chapter<br />
founders and directors, medical staff, caring physicians… every<br />
member who joins the A TIME family broadens the circle of light.<br />
We are here for you…with A TIME you are never alone.<br />
In this issue we have included many of our favorite pieces, with<br />
the hope that they will brighten your <strong>Chanukah</strong>.<br />
This year, as we light the <strong>Chanukah</strong> candles, may the warmth and<br />
glow of the flames illuminate our lives. Bayamim Hahem Bazman<br />
Hazeh. May we all very soon experience our own personal miracles.<br />
