Hannukah begins tonight. This year, we are especially conscious of the illuminating complexities of this holiday as reflected in our present moment. As we light the Hanukiah each night, we`ll be accompanied by our sadness, fear, joy, and exhaustion. We can and we must carry it all. May our empathy and fierce commitment to life endure like the oil central to the Hannukah miracle.

Looking for a musical to give you hope this Hannukah? Look no further than "Harmony," the new musical by Bruce Sussman and Barry Manilow that’s opening on Broadway after thirty years in the making.
⭐ Bonus—in this musical, actual Jews play the Jews.
As actor @jujujuliebee tells @libavaynberg, “It’s a story about allyship. 3 Jews, 3 gentiles in the Comedian Harmonists who supported each other. All six survived. It’s a model for how we can be better allies.”
