Tonight marks the last of the eight nights of Chanukah. Perhaps in this drawn-out holiday the shine has worn off a bit by now – the really good presents already given, the ritual a bit perfunctory. But the holiday itself is a celebration of persistence, of not giving up in the face of what seems like certain defeat, and why not be persistent in the pursuit of joy as well as justice or simply survival?
What joy will you diligently pursue today?
