Whether you prefer a parade that culminates in a festival or a discussion about social justice, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the Festival of Lights in Pittsburgh.
Hanukkah, like so many other holidays, is poised to look a little different this year.
Usually my synagogue in Washington, D.C., invites congregants to bring their menorahs into the sanctuary for a huge communal candle-lighting. This festive fire hazard is not exactly made for Zoom. Meanwhile, the invitation for my neighbors’ annual latke fest has not arrived, which is no surprise. While inviting friends over to spin dreidels, sing songs and commiserate about this dumpster fire of a year is tempting, it also screams “superspreader.”
It’s understandable but more than a little depressing. It makes me want to rip December off the calendar. Enough, already! Forget Hanukkah bring on 2021.
