MONTREAL If you were to take a lyric from comedian Adam Sandler’s pretty famous Hanukkah song and adapt it to COVID times, it might go something like this: stay in your pyjamakas, it’s time for Hanukkah! Hanukkah 2020. There’s nowhere to go, no big party to plan, no dressy outfit to wear - the virus has seen to that. But it can’t prevent Jewish families and individuals in Montreal from lighting the first of eight candles on Thursday evening just after sundown, creating that special Hanukkah glow. There might be some sadness about being separated from family and friends, but Rabbi Boris Dolin from Congregation Dorshei Emet in Montreal said this may be the year to celebrate Hanukkah’s beauty and simplicity - while staying safe.
