Getting in the right mood to celebrate the Festival of Lights… what will that look like this year? Most likely a family zoom from the warmth of our individual homes. As I think ahead to what this year will be, my memory takes me back to Chanukah as a 4-year-old child when my family resided in an apartment on the South side of Chicago. I received a tiny red piano that gave me hours of pleasure as I learned to sound out tunes. I spent happy time alone with my piano and dreamed I one day would play classical music, which I did, on an even larger piano I received at the age of 7. Music is a gift at any age. My granddaughter is now happily taking piano lessons on Zoom! What a world!
