A Chanukah Message from Rachel M. Miller
Read community insights, advice and perspectives during Chanukah.

As I celebrate the lighting of each candle on the Chanukah menorah, I recall with love and admiration the values and admonitions left to me by my parents and grandparents.
I value family and friends above everything else. These are the people who accept me with all my quirks and foibles.
I am able to laugh at myself and with others.
Make the world a better place in which to live through large and small initiatives/actions.
I don’t need to know someone personally to help them better their lives.
Education doesn’t stop when you leave school.
Respect people’s opinions even if I don’t agree with them.
I hope to be remembered for acts of lovingkindness.
And, as my mother always said, “Don’t leave home without putting on some lipstick.”
