It’s time to get out that shiny Minora, light your wax candles, sing the Ma’oz Tzur and celebrate Hankkah!
Is it Hanukkah or Chanukah? I guess it depends on the way you translate Hebrew.
Potato, potahto — tomato, tomahto.
This Jewish holiday doesn’t carry the religious heft of Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, but it has gained prominence due to the fact it falls around that other holiday…. Christmas. Hanukkah, or Chanukah commemorates when the Maccabees overthrew those Syrians. The Maccabees restored the Temple in Jerusalem and witnessed a one-day supply of oil last for eight days. Talk about economy of scale. That’s why Hanukkah features a candle-filled menorah and foods fried in oil; jelly donuts and potato pancakes.
Did I just say fried food? I’m so there.
