From hosts of NPR s
Hanukkah Lights Susan Stamberg and Murray Horowitz: Hanukkah is a time to share light, miracles and faith. It s been a difficult year and these stories will reflect that. They re darker than usual. But we hope the miracle of Hanukkah casts its light through these stories. We think the tales will resonate with you because of their mixture of sadness and strength.
