Happy Hanukkah, today is the first night.
Hardly traditional I know but I brought bagel chips to work. :)
I'm in the midst of a remodel and my menorah is somewhere??? :confused:

we made Latkes tonight..
Not jewish, but wanted to throw a nod to the jewish faith. I have family members in my German Lineage that are Jewish and went through the concentration camps. So even though I was raised catholic, I've always felt a kinship to those of the jewish faith.
....and we do have great food :D
Where ya been, Trek?
We're up to 3 candles tonight!
Thinks: must be one of those Reform Jews they keep warning us about over here. Or maybe it's yet another G*Y agenda impacting upon us!
Happy Hanukkah Trek and others!
Dang! I missed it. My mother converted to Judaism in her late 50s after marrying a Jewish man. She always thought the exchange of christmas gifts was important when I was growing up, but now it's "whoops I missed it, happy Chranukkah anyway!" Is it my imagination, or does the date change every year?
Bagel chips count.:cool:
Happy Chanukah to everyone.
Had latkes and kugel on Tuesday night. Trying to eat "normal" food until Saturday when we have a party to go to.
Laurelmore - there are a few days yet, it just started.
Happy hanukkah to all! I totally forgot about it last night! But I will dig out my candles and set up my menorah tonight. And maybe even get the family holiday cards written.....
Yep! Great food!! Though the kosher kitchen confounds me..I was a nanny in New York back in the late 80's/early 90's. The family was Jewish and had a kosher kitchen. Two of everything, things could't mingle, it was quite an adjustment for this little catholic girl from California! :pQuote:

The date DOES change every year, according to the modern calendars. Makes it really hard to keep up. My non-Jewish BF had to remind me it was the holiday. Odd -- I spent it decorating the Christmas tree at work.:rolleyes: I did have latkes today though. What night are we up to? Might light candles at least one night!Quote:

I prefer the mashed kind.
