Since I know very little about Hannukah I decided to use this opportunity to learn something new and my daily posts will share that with y'all. Happy Hannukah to all.

Hanukkah (Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה‎, Tiberian: Ḥănukkāh, usually spelled חנוכה pronounced [χanuˈka] in Modern Hebrew, also romanized as Chanukah, Chanukkah, or Chanuka), also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.

The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched Menorah or Hanukiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical Menorah consists of eight branches with an additional raised branch. The extra light is called a shamash (Hebrew: שמש, "attendant" or "sexton")[1] and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the shamash is to have a light available for use, as using the Hanukkah lights themselves is forbidden.[

Hanukkah has been something I knew nothing about growing up in Pentecostal Christian house hold. Four years ago my family was invited to Hanukkah party because my youngest son's best friends is Jewish. As you could probably image i was very nervous as I knew nothing about what this holiday was about. Me, my wife and two son's had such a great time as they read stories, played the dreidel, the music and the great food. Hmm love latkes, applesauce and fritters. The best part it is great family holiday and we now look forward to it every year. Infact I will be cooking the homemade latkes this year for the party. Happy Hanukkah to all and always keep an open mind to every religion. Our family has truly embraced this holiday and would not be the same without it.
