Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah.
The Jewish winter festival is the latest holiday to fall victim to the coronavirus. In Israel, a potential nightly curfew had been set to begin Wednesday, the night before the start of the eight-day festival of lights, but now appears to be off the table.
Still, options for activities are limited. This would appear to be a year to focus on family flicks and latke fry-offs, but some daytime outings are possible too, assuming the rain holds off.
Luckily, many of the local arts and culture institutions hewed to COVID-19 limitations when planning Hanukkah events.
