Over the past week, the leadership team at Green Key Resources has been following the devastating wildfires as they fatally and emotionally affect the residents of Maui, Hawai’i. As an organization, we have been examining how we can lend a helping hand to those in need.  

We’ve gathered some information below on organizations that are accepting donations for disaster relief. We thank our amazing community for sharing their time and resources to support the people and pets who have been displaced in Maui.

Happy Hanukkah!

Whether you spell Hanukkah or Chanukah or one of the many other ways, for Jewish families all across the world tonight begins a time of joy and celebrating with food, gifts and games. After this last year, who wouldn’t welcome a joyful celebration!

Hanukkah begins with the lighting of the first of the menorah candles. For each of the next seven nights, an additional candle is lit until all 8 are glowing. For that reason Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Lights. It celebrates the victory over a Greek army by a small group of Jewish warriors. In rededicating the Jerusalem temple, they found only a small amount of sacred oil to light the menorah. Miraculously, the oil burned for 8 days.

To all friends who celebrate the holiday we say Chanukah Sameach!
