Light triumphed over darkness across the Bay Area on Dec. 6 for the first night of Hanukkah. Here, clockwise from lower left, are celebrations in Walnut Creek, Palo Alto, Castro Valley, the Peninsula JCC in Foster City, Novato and Petaluma. The holiday ends this Sunday, Dec. 13, when all eight candles will blaze brightly on menorahs around the world.
