To all my readers and friends: I wish you a very happy Hanukkah for the remainder of the 8 days!
To my non-Jewish readers and friends: Hanukkah is a wonderful celebration. I like one of it’s names, “The Festival of Lights,” both for the history behind the name and for the joyous picture it calls to mind. If you don’t know what this ages-old, 8-day holiday is about, you’re missing something. Go to “Hanukkah 2015: When Does The Jewish Holiday Start And How Is It Celebrated?” and read about this significant, family (in every sense)-oriented celebration. It’s a breath of fresh air in our troubled world.
