Chanukah, the Festival of Light, which literally lit up an otherwise rather dreary December, has just ended. I had the absolute pleasure of enjoying the wonderful Chanukah party at the shul. With all the kids, the great music (a ten-piece band!), the latkes (thank you Rachel), all the dancing, and the feeling of community - it was fabulous! Around the same time we had the honour of welcoming Iman Dr. Wael Shehab and several other members of the Masjid Toronto mosque to a Shabbat service. It was a wonderful opportunity for our communities to come together; a time to enjoy and celebrate with our community and with others. But, it was with great sadness and anger that we heard about the attacks in Monsey, New York and Jersey City.
