Hi John, as we begin the Hanukkah celebration, I wanted to share this photo of Eve’s and my first Hanukkah as a family with Lexi.
My faith was a big part of my upbringing — it’s where my parents, my brother, and I found a community when we moved to the Bay Area when I was a kid at Temple Isaiah in Lafayette, California. Eve and I have passed that tradition down to our own kids.
And like my parents before me, I’ve tried to cultivate a love and respect for public service in our family — and the values that command us to do what’s right for the next generation.
As families around the country celebrate the first night of Hanukkah this evening, I’m reminded of the lessons I learned about this holiday growing up. Lessons about the significance of the eight lights as a symbol of unity, strength, perseverance, and freedom.
We have a saying that is part of a Jewish principle — “Tikkun Olam,” or repairing the world. I carry that with me each day in my work.
In recent years, there’s a lot that’s been broken, and a lot to fix. I’m ready to do my part to leave our state and country in a better place for our children and our grandchildren. I’m committed to repairing our broken democracy.
I’m doing my part to live the principle of “Tikkun Olam,” and I know you are too.
