May your life be as colorful, shimmering and magical as the lights of Diwali! To Hindu members of our 5 Things family, we hope the glow of today's Festival of Lights shines on you all year long. Here's what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart.

By Michelle Krupa
Tree of Life observes a grim milestone
Today marks one year since the massacre at a Pittsburgh synagogue. Memorial events are scheduled in the Squirrel Hill community under tight security. Almost a third of US respondents to a recent poll have avoided wearing or displaying things in public that would identify them as Jews, while the incidence of harassment of Jews remains high.

A Missouri abortion clinic's fate is debated
Planned Parenthood and the state's Republican governor go head-to-head over the clinic's license. State officials reportedly have asked for enhanced security Monday ahead of the administrative hearing. At issue is a law that effectively would shutter an abortion clinic, making Missouri the only state without such a medical site.

Key witnesses testify in the impeachment inquiry
Ex-Deputy Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Charles Kupperman is expected to appear Monday in a closed session. He reportedly listened in on the call between Donald Trump and Ukraine's President that's at the center of the probe. Up Thursday is Timothy Morrison, a top Russia and Europe adviser on the National Security Council. He's due to corroborate that Trump pressed Ukraine for political help in return for US aid.

Trial starts for a suspect in a Colorado mom's death
Patrick Frazee is due in court Monday. He's accused of killing Kelsey Berreth, his fiancée and the mother of his young daughter. His girlfriend, who is cooperating with prosecutors, has told investigators that Frazee killed Berreth, then disposed of her remains.

The Fed chair speaks
In what is always an anticipated moment, Jerome Powell is set to take the mic Wednesday following a two-day Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Experts expect another rate cut.

The Brexit deadline lands
Thursday has long been circled as the date the UK would depart the EU. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson has conceded that he won't meet the deadline. He wants lawmakers to agree to a December 12 election in return for more time to debate his Brexit proposal. Meantime, the EU must grant an extension, or the UK will bounce out of the union in a dreaded "no-deal" scenario.

Happy Halloween and Day of the Dead!
It's costumes and candy on Thursday and flowers, candles and brightly colored skeleton masks on Friday as we mere mortals mark a pair of holidays that test the bounds of what's real.

The US economy gets its health results
The October jobs report is released Friday morning, along with a key manufacturing report. Both are seen as key indicators of the health of the American economy.

Chicken sandwiches are taking over
