And, just like that, there goes another Hanukkah. I'm still thinking about the light that's uniquely mine to shine, how to ignite it, and how to display it publicly and with pride, just like a menorah in the window. 

On that note, I'm taking the next couple of weeks to reflect on the past year (2018, not 5779 quite yet...) and dream about the future, so The Ish will be in hibernation for a bit, too.

When The Ish returns, we'll be sharing a round up of our most popular links from 2018.

What were your favorite Arq moments this year? Send me a note and I'll include them in our first issue of The Ish in 2019 (and feel all warm and fuzzy).
