travel to the mall,” Jamie Thomas
said. “And we’re unique enough
so that we have products anyone
would want.”
The selection comes at a price,
though. Jamie Thomas said she
travels at least once a month to
keep a good flow of low-cost, high
quality merchandise in the store.
But she said she enjoys her
work and the responsibility that
comes with running her own busi
ness.
“I’m fortunate at my age to have
this kind of responsibility,” the
22-year-old said. “It’s nice to work
hard and see the end result. We’ve
really worked hard for the com
munity.”
The Thomases have hired three
more full-time employees to help
with their expansion efforts.
They also anticipate hiring more
help for the holiday season.
West Moon employee Jen
Depue said the staff gets along
with each other well and is treated

with a good deal of respect from its
boss. Part of that, she said, has to
do with the company-wide deci
sion not to work on commission.
“When you step in here it’s re
ally comfortable,” Depue said.
“It’s not like a normal store
where everyone bombards you
for their commission.”
The store sells everything from
windchimes and fuzzy dice to
jeans and sweaters. Michelle
Hesser, a senior sociology major,
said she appreciates the variety.
“There’s a little bit of everything
and it’s all cool stuff,” Hesser said.
“There’s not 20 of the same shirt,
so you don’t see a whole bunch of
people with the same stuff on.”
Bosworth’s son Tyler Thomas
has been with the store for three
and-a-half years. He said that more
and more men have been buying
from them lately.
Brian Ouellette, a junior politi
cal science and international stud
ies major, said he anticipates
spending a lot of money at the
store.
“I have a significant other that’s
really into a lot of the stuff here,”
Ouellette said. “For a lazy guy like
me it’s really easy to find Christ
mas gifts here.”

Hanukkah
Continued from Page 1
A guerrilla army of Jews left
Judea to live in the surrounding
desert and mount attacks against
the occupying Greeks. The army’s
tactics proved effective, and the
Jews reclaimed Jerusalem in 166
B.C.
The Jews destroyed the Greek
statues, purged the defiled tem
ples and built new altars.
According to the Talmud and
the Second Book of Maccabees in
the Apocrypha, the Jews could
find very little of the oil necessary
for rededicating the temple, Falk
said. But the oil miraculously
burned for eight days.
Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for
dedication, celebrates the recla
i i Hanukkah is a celebra
tion of the value of religious
freedom. It’s also the Jewish
celebration of winter sol
stice — the light festival
held at the darkest time of
the year. It’s a proactive, joy
ous response to the appar
ent despair of winter.

mation and rededication of the
Jewish temple, and the eight can
dles of the Menorah symbolize
the miracle of the burning oil.
“Hanukkah is a celebration of
the value of religious freedom,”
Bayliss said. “It’s also the Jewish
celebration of winter solstice —
the light festival held at the dark
est time of the year. It’s a proac
tive, joyous response to the appar
ent despair of winter.”
Bayliss said, however, that
many Jewish people incorporate
gift giving into Hanukkah celebra
tions to balance the holiday with
Christmas.
“We feel sort of estranged from
the Christmas season,” Jonathan
Gutstadt, Hillel outreach vice
president, said. “It reminds us
once per year that we’re Jewish.”
