This Hanukkah, we honour resilience and the light that endures. Holocaust survivors—our last witnesses—continue to teach and inspire across B.C. This menorah, once owned by Else Barbara Andress, reminds us of survival, loss and heritage.

Last week, our community gathered with @Bethisraelvan and @JewishVancouver to commemorate Kristallnacht. Thank you to our speakers and guests — and above all to the 11 local Holocaust survivors whose candle lighting moved us into deep reflection and remembrance.
