Celebration Early happy Hanukkah to everyone here.
Sorry I've missed so many other of your holidays, and sorry about it being early, but I wanted to go ahead and say happy Hanukkah to all of you right now before I end up busy or distracted. I wanted to thank all of you here for your patience, your kindness and your willingness to educate others. I grieve for those of you who have had to cut off community or family, and who have had to witness so much harm being done in your name. You are all such amazingly strong people to cling fast to your beliefs when it would be so much more comfortable and easy to sit the fence and say nothing, and your virtue and empathy puts my ancestors who participated in things they shouldn't have to shame. You all inspire me to be a better person, and I thank you all for being here. I hope that maybe this time next year we will see Palestine is closer to freedom, even if that is a big hope. Thank you all.
