I’ve seen a lot of reports of Hanukkah events being cancelled in the wake of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, so I thought I’d host my own “hanukkiah” on this blog (using gifs borrowed from Tenor). I’m not Jewish myself, but some of my friends and many of my idols are, so I wanted to show some solidarity with the diaspora… and while I’m at it, I’ll also put in a plug for Sandra Bernhard‘s song “Miracle of Lights”, which encourages listeners to foster peace and empathy.
