Hanukkah is a season and celebration of miracles and light. To all who are celebrating these 8 days, I wish you peace, love, and grace. May this be a time of coming together as community and family. May G-d bless you all. Be safe!
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.

To all my friends who are celebrating this high holy holiday I wish you peace and grace from G-d and come together in community to ask and seek forgiveness.
Hanukkah is celebrated around the world for eight days and nights. Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees or Israelites over the Greek-Syrian ruler, Antiochus about 2200 years ago. A Menorah is a special nine-branched candelabrum, also known in Hebrew as a Hanukiah.
To all my Jewish friends and fellow bloggers who are celebrating this time of faith, light and love have a wonderful time of being together in family and community.
