Happy Hanukkah to everyone that celebrates this special holiday!
Hanukkah began at sunset on Sunday, December 2nd and ends on Monday, December 10th.
The attached article from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette shares a theme among many synagogues this holiday, “brighten the darkness.” Many are still healing after the unfortunate shooting that took place in October. #VOAFL sends love and hope for all.
