Hanukkah, Festival of (Compact Fluorescent) Lights

Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah, come light the--compact fluorescents? Today Salon has a short article about a campaign by our old friends The Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life. Check out this link on our website under Worship/Devotional Aids for devotional guides put out by Georgia Interfaith Power and Light for both Advent and Hanukkah that utilize changing conventional incandescant bulbs to more energy-efficient compact fluorescents. These devotional guides include the obligatory light bulb jokes. If you are in the New Haven, Connecticut, area, consider participating in their environmental Hanukkah program A Light Among the Nations a/k/a How Many Jews Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?
