• Finding light in darkness: Baltimore Jews celebrate first night of Hanukkah (wmar2news.com) — Baltimore-area Jews marked the first night of Hanukkah with large public menorah lightings, while also responding to global antisemitic violence with resilience and faith. Among the voices was Rabbi Velvel Belinsky of Ariel Chabad in Pikesville, who said continued celebration sends a clear message that terrorists will not win and urged Jews to keep attending events all week.
