Tonight is also the first night of Chanukah--and my very best
wishes to everyone who is observing the holiday.
Chanukah is of course also known as the Festival of Lights. In my own home, I would like to think
that the lights of Chanukah, set on a table at the kitchen window, can--in
addition to their traditional meanings--serve as at least one symbolic counterpoint
to the darkness of terror.
