The first thing you see as you approach the Mid-Westchester JCC in Scarsdale, New York, is a floating wall of yellow ribbons, in shades from lemonade to goldenrod. As of May 23, there were 129 of them—one for each of the hostages held in Gaza. (Two of the ribbons are orange, representing the two little ginger-headed Bibas boys, Kfir and Ariel.) Some ribbons are hand-knit, some are machine-knit, and some crocheted, and they all hang in midair, suspended on a transparent deer fence.

There’s a photograph that circulates around Jewish pockets of the internet each year during Hanukkah. It was taken in Germany in 1930, and it shows an elegant menorah sitting in a windowsill, and a massive Nazi flag hanging on a building just outside. The message is immediately clear: Even during the darkest of days, Jews don’t forget who we are. Its devotion and defiance, a visceral reminder of the themes of Hanukkah.
