What happened on the New Haven Green during a march and rally on Dec. 9 has appropriately been decried by political and faith leaders of all backgrounds as “the desecration of the Hanukkah menorah.” But after bearing witness to such a deeply painful incident, is it possible to nonetheless find some solace in the events that followed?
