EDITOR: Thank you, Oliver's Market, for the wonderful display of Hanukkah
lights.
I arrived to shop at your grand opening on Stony Point and, much to my
surprise, there was a life-size menorah and people celebrating Hanukkah. It
brought tears to my eyes.
Having a Jewish family on the west side of Santa Rosa doesn't bring many
opportunities for cultural sharing, but this was a great reminder of
celebration, diversity and bringing people together.
Not enough people have open minds, as I overheard people in line
disagreeing with the outdoor festivities. Oliver's, you made the right choice
to shed ''light'' on Hanukkah, Jewish culture and tradition.
I hope this menorah can be an annual display of tolerance, light and love
in front of your store. Thank you, and happy holidays.
