It is our tradition at the JFR to light candles during Hanukkah. Last night we lit our menorah, a gift from Board Chairman Harvey Schulweis, to celebrate the final night of Hanukkah. Although we have a mixed staff of different backgrounds and beliefs, we all came together to share in this special ritual.[caption id="attachment_543" align="alignleft" width="150"]
