REGINA The Festival of Lights, also known as Hanukkah, started Thursday, but the celebration will look very different for Yaniv and Sapir Atiya due to COVID-19. “It s a very Jewish thing to host people like hospitality stuff like that. It s a big thing and usually we would have people coming over to our place to light candles or we would go to their place,” Yaniv said. “This year, unfortunately I don t think it s going to happen at all.” The Atiya family has lived in Saskatchewan for the past five years, originally coming from Israel. This year, festivities that normally would mean celebrating their community will be focused on their family.
