100 x Chai Lights

“Chai” is the Hebrew word for life and has a numerical value of 18. The number 18 is spiritually significant in Judaism. 100 x 18 (Chai) = 1,800.  

100 x Chai Lights is a 6 Million Lights Campaign foundational initiative gifting 1,800 lamps to various honorees who’ve been putting light into the world.  

Since the goal of the 6 Million Lights Campaign is to encourage people to put more light into the world, what better way to begin the 6 Million Lights Campaign than by honoring individuals who’ve already been putting light into the world?  What better way to provide concrete examples of what “putting light” into the world is all about?

Our honorees include individuals of all faiths, including posthumous honorees.   While we recognize the actions of our honorees stem from a genuine desire to make a difference in the world rather than seeking recognition, these gifted lamps provide heartfelt acknowledgment of their positive impact. The beautiful glow of their gifted lamp is a luminous testament that their light is truly celebrated and valued.  And we hope their lamp will continue to inspire them and others.

If you’d like to submit a name for a 100 x Chai Lights honoree, please let us know.  Of course, if you’d like to contribute a donation to support this worthy initiative, that’d also be welcome!
