Happy Hanukkah <3
 

Anyone here on Menewsha celebrate Hanukkah?

I don't, but it would be nice to be invited to a Hanukkah celebration or dinner. [heart]

So do I. I use to know a lot more about Jewish Culture and Traditions till I moved out of the semi-Jewish neighborhood. Dx!

'rubs eyes and tosses snowball into room'

*gets hit with a snowball on the head*
Ouch!!!

I love Chanukah! :D

My grandmother was Jewish (although I didn't know it until after she'd died.) .

But this year my family and I are going to a Chanukah parade in the city that starts with the lighting of the public menorah and then leads to the synagogue where there will be latkes and a music and dancing and such. C:

BA-RUCH-A-TAH-ADONAI.

Happy first night of Chanukah!

Happy Holiday 'waves happily'

I have a jewish friend but I never talk to. her about Hanukkah I should ask her about the potato lakets. I all ways wanted to try make them are potato pancakes.

Very cool!

Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all <3

Happy second night of Hanukkah, friends!

Tomorrow is the Hanukkah parade in the state capitol!

Dx! The Jewish people I know/knew were kind and didn't mind me being Baptist. I asked a few questions and they answered them. I just never got invited to a Hanukkah Celebration. Dx!

I use to watch a lot of the PBS kid friendly specials about Hanukkah. I did mention I use to live in a semi-Jewish neighborhood. Over the years, the population changed a little. I remember the kind old Jewish ladies that I use to say hi to while walking home from the grocery store with my great aunt. [heart]

i don't think i actually know anyone jewish o.o my knowledge of hanukkah is shaky at best, if there is anyone who celebrates i'd love to know more :] Ava do you celebrate?

what is that thing you said?Ba-Ruch-a-tah-adonai?

Ava said, "Blesséd is the Lord, Our G-d" in Hebrew.
It's typical to bless the menorah before/while lighting it.

why thank you Hiddleston :D that is indredibly helpful ^^

I don't celebrate anything.
But when someone tells me Merry Christmas, I answer with "I'm Jewish". And a dead stare.

but you don't celebrate anything? and I like to say happy holidays cause i never know what people celebrate. I usually say merry Christmas if its obvious that they celebrate it, or if I'm auto piloting like i did often when I was working as a cashier. xD

My parents make a big deal out of saying, "Merry Christmas" AND "Happy Holidays" but really, they like saying, "Merry Christmas" the best. They feel like people are too easily offended and they don't care if they piss people off by saying "Merry Christmas".

I love my parents, but I feel like they can be kind of assholes sometimes.

i'm not worried about offending people, i just really want to acknowledge that everyone celebrates different things. xD i want to bring a smile to someones face every day ^^

That's so precious, Shadami. :)

Aww this is sweet. <3

Happy Hanukkah

I think people should just say whatever they celebrate.

For example, if I say Merry Christmas to my Jewish friend, he wishes me Happy Hanukkah.
