Diverse Community = Diverse Celebrations
Many people from our diverse community are engaging in important annual celebrations this time of year that very much define the "holiday" season.
- Happiness to all of our friends in the Jewish community who celebrated Hannukah between December 7-15.
- Joy to all of our Christian friends who celebrated Christmas on December 25th or
- Our Orthodox Christian friends who will celebrate it on January 7.
- Good tidings to all of our friends in the community who celebrate Kwanzaa between December 26-January 1.
Of course, many of our community members do not practice an organized religion, and their focus is on other important aspects of their lives that bring them fulfillment.
The breadth of observance and celebration this time of year is just one example of our diversity. Throughout the year, we do our best to acknowledge all the different observances that take place in our community.
