Chanukkah is one of my favorite holidays. Here on Okinawa, we have candle lighting at a different home each night.
On the second night of Chanukkah, I lit candles and led the prayers at the Navy Chaplain Corps Ball. It was a Shehecheyanu moment.
We were very honored to host the UDPs from Schwab and Hansen as well as the Chief of Navy Chaplains on the third night.
Each night brought us together, banishing the shadows with each additional candle light.
Each night reminds us of our struggle to be authentic Jews in the military. Chanukkah reminds of us a similar struggle in our own history.
