Today was another morning that I peeled myself from bed. I am sad and I am fatigued. Throughout 2020, I worked a second job in the service industry and never knew when I would be exposed to someone with COVID-19.

This practice symbolizes the miraculous eight days in which one day worth of oil burned, ultimately allowing for the continuation of the Jewish faith
