Hab‘s gerade nochmal in der Tagesschau gesehen - Alter, was für einen #Judenhass muss ich in mir tragen, dass ich mit nem #Feuerlöscher den #Channuka-Leuchter ausblase?

Allen, die es feiern wünsche ich
#Channuka
Chag Sameach!

Preparing todays upcoming jewish holiday #Channuka. T minus 118 minutes.

Habt's schön!

Das allererste Mal öffentlich #Channuka Kerzenzünden auf dem Marktplatz in #Reutlingen
OB Keck darf die erste #Kerze anzünden, bevor der Stuttgarter Rabbiner die Beracha singt und die anderen Lichter entzündet. Über 100 Menschen dabei und am Schluss #sufganiot für alle! Danke an die jüdische Gemeinde Reutlingen und den Rat der Religionen für die Einladung!
Channuka Sameach!

Sometimes I think we get 8 nights of this holiday just so we can get through a fraction of the different ways to spell it. #chanukah #channukah #Hanukah #hanukkah #xanuca #chanukkah #channukkah #chanuka #channuka #chanukka #channukka

Every year I make #8HanukkahSnacks
Each one from a different part of the diaspora.

First up is Tostones! These fried and smashed plantains are a go to for Latin American Jews on Hanukkah and are WAY easier to make than #latkes.

so which is it? :)

Tonight I was privileged enough to experience the first night of #Channuka in #Israel

There was the hanukkiah (menorah), There were delicious #sufganiyot and singing and prayers, but there were no presents for the children.

It was beautiful in that the real present is family, love, and tradition. The real present is being surrounded by people who share the same experiences and care about you.

Some #Jews prefer a light & jolly syncretic "festival of lights" #Channuka & say it's about joy & fighting darkness. That's OK if it works for you.

But for me it's a burning fire of rebellion, a rejection of cultural givens, a fierce battle against complacent assimilation of unthinking or even merely popular ways of being, within ourselves & the larger culture. #Hannuka is an alienation celebration, a rebellion in the hinterlands, an I-&-we-are-not-them survival & victory party

YMMV!

At Pessach we have 4 questions, which were answered every year (I hope) but this is the one never answered.
So, please, how do you spell חנוכה?
