Happy Chanukah!

And she's up!

This year, like the past 5, Chanukah is at the River. And this time, thanks to the dredging, there's actually water!

As a child, my father would always tell us to look into the Chanukah flames to see the stories the candles could tell.

Standing proudly at riverfront, these flames (or light bulbs) must have some incredible stories.

Of a little girl enthralled by the sight of a larger-than-life Menorah. Of a passerby taking a moment of their day to notice someone sitting on a bench alone, and brighten their day with a greeting. Of, struggle and triumph, of hardship and friendship, of darkness and light.

And throughout it all, the Menorah inspires and illuminates the way.

Let's all shine together!
