ChanukahCommunity
A Chanukah Message from LaVon Mercer
For our annual Chanukah issue, we asked members of our community to share why they think it is so important for our Jewish community to, "Shine Our Light Bold and Bright."

2022…WOW! Just think of all the things we have seen or been through.
Look at it from this point of view, if you can see this, then you’re truly blessed. I have lost so MANY individuals that were near and dear over the last few years.
As a former athlete, I feel some of those pains today physically, and, even worse, I see so many of those former athletes that just say to me…keep on living!
So “What I’m thankful for is… YOU”, each of you!
I respect all people of this earth, ALL people. Understand that each and every person that has touched this life of mine, I love you in a special way and that’s from my HEART.
Happy Chanukah!
LaVon Mercer is a former Israeli athlete with Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
