Hanukkah represents the eight days that oil burned in the temple when there was only enough to burn for one night. Our gathering this year has even more meaning in light of recent events. As small as our Jewish group has become that's met in Diamondhead for 20 years, it's important that we be together. No one remains untouched by the hurricane.
