We Must Keep Hanukkah Disability-Inclusive During COVID-19
There’s an old joke that every Jewish holiday can be summed up with a single statement: “They tried to kill us, we survived, let’s eat!” The particulars behind the punchline are that we have survived a lot of hatred and many but not all of our holidays include communal meals and celebrations that allow us to revitalize our connections to our shared culture, customs, history and each other.
