Hanukkah

Celebrating all those special times in each year.

Hanukkah

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Wed Dec 5, '07, 5:54 pm

If I am not mistaken, looking at the calendar for today, it appears to be the first day of Hanukkah. So, Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate this event or holiday.

I am not very familiar with this event, so if we have any posters here who observe this celebration or know more about it, please enlighten us more regarding Hanukkah as to what exactly it is and what happens during the Hanukkah observations, etc.

It's a Jewish celebration, isn't it? That's really all I know about Hanukkah.

Yeah, it's a Jewish holiday. I believe it goes on for 12 days or so (I could be wrong).

Well, it's almost that time of year again. Time to wish everyone a Happy Hanukkah! :)

The first day of Hanukkah for this year 2008 is on this coming Monday, December 22. Since some of us weren't too familiar with this holiday last year, I did a little research to find out more about it. Hope you find this interesting:
