What I Hope People Say

Daily writing prompt
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

Happy Hanukkah – Chag Chanukah Sameach

Hanukkah, which is Hebrew for “dedication,” is the Festival of Lights.

It commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greek army, and the subsequent miracle of rededicating the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and restoring its menorah, or lamp.

There’s also lots of celebrations and fried food and other fun stuff.

To all celebrating may you be blessed and full of the spirit of what this means for the world. Also, be safe and know you are loved.
