#festival of lights
To all my followers celebrating, I wish you a Happy Diwali!
Happy belated Diwali! Super excited to share these illustrations of Sanjay and his dad celebrating the festival of lights for Disney. Art direction by Craig Mackay and design by Deniza Sabio. A big thank you to the Disney team for bringing me onboard!
In 1979, President Jimmy Carter participated in lighting a Hanukkah menorah on the Ellipse, just south of the White House. Each President since then has commemorated Hanukkah at the White House. The ceremonies have ranged from small presentations in the Oval Office to large parties with the First Family, but they have all shared the common element of a Hanukkah menorah.
Learn more about Hanukkah at the White House on our Prologue blog.

For eight nights, Eight for Eight will spark conversation and shine a light on Chanukah. This collaboration from eight spiritual communities and synagogues around the country, including Sixth & I, asks eight questions for eight nights straight. Eight rabbis, including our very own Rabbi Shira and Rabbi Scott, answer the who, what, why, when, where, and how of the Festival of Lights.
Sign up to receive daily emails during Chanukah, which begins tomorrow night.

Steven was one of 75 pupils from Temple Israel’s religious school who celebrated the holiday and entertained residents at the home Sunday. Earl Seubert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
