Like the Maccabees, we must live according to our own values and traditions without feeling self-conscious or awkward.

Like many in our community, I have suffered the loss of family, friends and other loved ones through the use of illegal drugs, or through the illegal use of permitted substances (such as driving while alcohol-intoxicated).
