We're Christian, and my 5 y/o son came home from school today and asked about Hanukkah because he had learned (in preschool) that they had 8 lights; he wanted to know why. This video was perfect for him. Thanks!
@sidecrank Okay dude, you need to understand the Jews take everyones crap. The Nazi's killed them, the Muslim's kill them. They are sick of it. You go live in a country where rockets are landing in fields and market places everyday, people keep killing innocent people, and see how you like it. It'd tick you off after a while. And nobody wants to offend anyone so all the world just slaps these middle eastern terrorists wrists and sit back. Well the Jews are like screw that and fight back.
People obviously have a lot of misconceptions about other cultures and religions.That's why if you don't belong to a certain nation or religion or haven't learned about them you should probably keep your damn mouth shut! If you don't know about something keep the crap to yourself.
@sidecrank You don't have to take my word for it. Read the book of Maccabees 4 yourself and see 4 yourself how they resisted being forced to worship Greek gods and embrace Hellenization. Just google book of Maccabees or something. If you look into it yourself and question what you read and hear from haters you'll find the truth. That's the best way to find something out. Look by yourself and be open minded about it.
@sidecrank I don't think Duke writes honest books. I've looked into the culture of Jews for myself and hope to be a cultural anthropologist someday. If you read Maccabees, which isn't canonized scripture by most but contains the story of Hanukkah, you'll see that the holiday actually celebrates freedom of religion for ancient people in Israel during the time of Alexander the Great. Just like this video says. This video actually gives a pretty good account of what Hanukkah is.
@GenerationX1984 Why does not Dr Duke write honest books? Because he dares to question Jews? Does that make him automatically dishonest? Perhaps you should be more open minded? Hanukkah is the celebration of murder.
@sidecrank No. It's not. Read Maccabees. Just because some former KKK member tells you something doesn't make it true. It makes it false because a former KKK member said it. Most people would agree.
@sidecrank You are a paranoid witch hunter who likes to scape goat Jews. Never believe anything written by any ONE person. EVER. Read Maccabees. Then comment back if you see anything that celebrates murder in the Hanukkah story. Let me know if you find anything.
@GenerationX1984 Oh hear we go, you people always result to insult and aggression. Your time of misleading the world is coming to an end. The cattle are being educated. Hanukkah is a celebration and teaching of anti assimilation for the Jews.
@sidecrank Please read Maccabees. It's about freedom of religion. Same as the story of William Wallace is about freedom for Scotland. People don't like being oppressed by foreign nations. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. Especially if they target an entire race or religion like a middle age witch hunt. Sorry.
@GenerationX1984 Do you think the Palestinians like what has been happening to them since 1948? Oh sorry they are not Jewish so we can dismiss their pain and suffering?
@sidecrank I agree. The murders committed by both sides are terrible. Religion should never be an issue. Both religions believe in God. But Palestinians are Arab with little ancient history attached to Israel aside from the Nabatean Arabs who lived there. And that has nothing to do with Maccabees or Antiochus, the conqueror. Maybe people would be more excepting of Islam if they didn't have such an accepting view on suicide and suicide bombing. If KABOOM is how Allah is merciful then I'm scared.
@GenerationX1984 Well I suppose the situation is so hopeless for the Palestinians that they are wide open to the nut cases that use religion to further their perverted aims. You have to agree that the Israeli deaths are very small compared to the many thousands of Arab deaths. I stay away from religion and try to follow the teaching - Love your enemy.
@sidecrank Also, why is it that every time an Arab arrives in a foreign country it automatically belongs to him and Islam is the only right way of life there? Why do Arabs in Iraq have more rights than Kurds or Assyrians who were there first? Muslim Arabs have oppressed entire ethnic groups in the Middle East for too long. Enough is enough.
@sidecrank if you look at the history, all of the Arab countries attacked Israel, just because Israel is REALLY good at defending it's self (and understandably so, they will never allow for something as terrible as the holocaust happen to them again). I believe Israel has been more than generous in it's victories, even returning land that they captured (legally according to U.N. codes mind you). but i agree, it'd be amazing and wonderful if all of this senseless violence could just end.
@Unrequited117 Just watched a program about the treatment and persecution of the Palestinians by Israel and can see why the world has hated the Jew. The Israel supremacy and total lack of feeling for any one but their selves was appalling I can see what gave rise to the Nazis.
@sidecrank If you read what's in Maccabees you can easily do a side by side comparison that will either establish and authenticate or debunk whatever some former KKK member says is in the Hanukkah tradition. Only an ignorant person would refuse to investigate it for themselves or talk to people who celebrate it. All cultures have their traditional ways and somebody is always trying to lie about them. People are nasty like that. Hope you find the answers you're looking for. Good luck to you! :)
I admire all cultures that stood up to oppression and resisted. The Chines for resisting the Japs during WWII. The Scots for resisting the English. And even the Jews for resisting Hellenization when Alexander the Great was taking over the civilized world. That's the story of Hanukkah. A story of resisting fascism.
wow... all these comments are really making me sick. why does everyone hate Jews? I really dont get it. They've been hated since the beginning of time, Hitler did HORRIBLE things to them. And Sesame Street isn't saying Hanukah isn't the "best" holiday. It's just that mostly everything's all X-mas specials and they want to teach children about Hanukah, or let all the Jewish kids know they're not being left out.
@clubpenguinnub I don't get why people hate Jews either. Probably cause their mommy and daddy told them lies about Jews that were told to them as children. Naive people usually believe what they're told as little children. That's why so many people grow up all screwed up in the head. Also, they might belong to a stupid group or religion that promotes bigotry. That happens a lot too.
@clubpenguinnub And let's face it. Some parents don't teach their kids to be open minded at all. For fear that they will disagree with the stupid, illogical, nonsense ideas they work hard to instill in their kids. Same as many churches don't teach their members to ask questions or give their own opinions during church. At some churches the pastor is pretty much God because nobody questions him. The masses can't get up in front of the congregation and share their own spiritual feelings about God.
@clubpenguinnub Jeasously probably. The Jews made themselves successful after being shunned in the Middle Ages. Due to that shunning they survived the plague for the most part because of their isolation.
@Xboxcrusader yea a 12 year old by the name of XBoxcrusader which clearly means you probably aren't capable of critical thinking is supporting the politicl system of fascism which you probably don't understand and also thinks babies being murdered is funny, pleas direct yourself to the nearest noose
@clubpenguinnub Dude, don't worry, we Jews have been going strong for thousands of years, a couple of pissed off youtube people aren't gonna bring us down. but thanks for sticking up for us.
@clubpenguinnub true, but if they have hated us since the beginning of time does it surprise you that they continue to do so? People who can't rationalize resort to anger and bigoted parents raise ignorant children who become adults, hatred of Jews is all taught behavior. Thank you for your devoted support, it's appreciated.
@MasterofDuckies Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is scientifically impossible to disprove something. The burden of evidence is on the person making the claim.
It's a celebration of lights, the miracle of it lasting eight days, it's Sesame Street answering some questions a child might ask. Let it be. If you have questions just ask. This isn't the place to make comments that a child might see and read. And it's sad that a perpson might lower him/herself to write comments that are so hurtful. And yes, I will always be a child in my heart.
Please stop it with the religious debates on every freakin' video that mentions Judaism! No haters! This is an innocuous kids' video educating them on diversity. Chag Sameach Chanukah!
Seriously? Sesame street has dropped to a new low... Saying jewish is the only religion. if they do a thing on other religions I'll be fine but for now screw sesame street racist fucks say thats the best religion fuck now I'm pissed off all regions are the fucking say I don't care if they have one or more gods there all the fucking same! fuck the world
@wung97 That leads us to our next lesson, obviously the Catholic Hospitals weren't too terribly smart with their money. They may have worked hard for the money that they earned, but if they're spending it on plasma screen television sets for each patient, that's their problem. It isn't just that Jewish people are rich because they're Jewish, that's ridiculous.
Regardless of the real story, this video is great, people should respect all faiths regardless of blief and also observe decency in their comments, hate is one of the lowest kind of feelings that a person expresses out of fear and lack of intelligence. I have never seen so much hate against anyone as that of the anti-Semites that poison anything just to show their indecency and disregard for the audience. Hatemongers are the real cause of war and no prospect for Peace and prosperity for humanity
Four things: 1.) I laughed so hard when the TV jumped outta nowhere because it looked like it burst through the ceiling. XD 2.) Is it just me, or does Judah sound like Zapp Brannigan? Or...like some else...? 3.) I love how when Veronica Monica narrates, someone has to say what she just said. 4.) Sesame Street is AWESOME!
It's good that sesame street is showing kids other colters in America but it made me think for the longest time when I was a kid that people actually celebrate kwanza.
yo, first of all, this story isn't fully correct, some stuff is missing and other's added, nothing personal, but jews known in changing history, i mean, they even changed their own ''hebrew bible'' to gain the right of being ''best god's creatures'' and have the world in their hands... As u see now
Judah Macabee wasn't doing what he wanted to do, he did the will of G-D! This is so twisted and disgusting to water down this event down! There were 3 main Torah commandments that the Syrian Greeks forbid the Jews to obey: Rosh Chodesh (Jewish calendar), Circumcision, and Torah study. (The Jews could only learn the prophets section of the Hebrew bible as the Greeks saw it as a purely historical learning.
why do we have to be so politically correct. i mean seriously "its not b.c. or a.d. anymore, its bce and ce" no! its before christ and after his death. deal with it
That sucks that Jews couldn't practice their culture. Maybe 76 people can go to a foreign country and tell those people they can't practice their culture either.
Furthermore, the abbreviations "B.C." and "A.D." are now only used in religious contexts, as they depend upon an unscientific, unprooven, Christian falacy.
Instead, "B.C.E." (for "B.C.") and "C.E." (for "A.D.") are used. "B.C.E." stands for "Before the Current Era", and "C.E." stands for "Current Era".
I get your point, but I feel I must correct you here.
"A.D." actually stands for the Latin phrase "Amino Domini" (sp), which means "in the year of our Lord". Also, year 1 is supposed to be the year Jesus was BORN, not the year he _died_.
@dualbladedroxas Um. Judhaism is older than Islam. Moses came way before Mohammed. And both Moses and Jesus are mentioned in Islam, making Islam the youngest of the Abrahamic religions. Just sayin.
But Abrahamic religions aren't the oldest either; they date back to only 1800 BC. Hinduism, Sumerian religion and Zoroastrianism are the world's oldest *known* religions. Just some fun facts. =) btw, Vaginawarden is a troll. don't feed them.
@ExposeZionistCrimes I never said it was the same. No religion is the same today as it was when it started out. It'd be naive to think otherwise. So I don't see your point.
I am christian and I thank you very much for this video, it help me to understand the meaning and origen of the celebration of Hanukkah. God bless you all.
What a cute re-telling of the Hanukkah story! It explains the menorah thing, but it doesn't go into potato latkes (sour cream or apple sauce?) or dreidles ... inquiring minds want to know!!!
@buddmar Shalom! Latkes or Levivot are new to Jewish tradition (around 400 years) Subganyot (kind of doughnuts filled with jam) are older but regardless of adapting food as age and time the symbolism of frying is realetad to the oil burning for 8 days as a "Divine" signal that Israel could win its freedom of worship from Greek oppression.
if anyone knows who matty b which yall probably do and with that being said u prolly would agree hes garbage jus search matty b diss and here the first punch in the matty b vs colby shows throwdown AND SO IT BEGINZZZZ
@LovezHD Many intolerant people do know the fact that Jesus was a Jew but want to ignore it. at least you are alittle more tolerant. Wow people need to read there history because everyone use to be Jewish before Christains came around. according to historians and history books christains did not come around untl AFTER Jesus died.
@lordironrat Just remember Jesus was a jew. In fact Jews came before christains. I am a Roman Catholic and I have many jewish friends. I have read history books, was told by my priest and many other ministers, and jews them self that Jesus was a Jew. So if you hate Jews than basiclly you hate jesus. because Jesus was a Jew. READ YOUR HISTORY!
@lordironrat no i was NOT talking about the bible I was talking about HISTORY BOOKS as in SCHOOL HiStORY Books (some Public school books) and it is not in Religion books (Not the bible) in colleges and it's in the bible. Your comment is NOT a funny joke nor would people take it as a Joke.
It would be nice to see Christmas being explained, but I don't think Elmo has subscribed to the Christian Channel.
It is interesting that a children show even goes into the Maccabean era, but you think that if they could do that they could at least give the reason for why the holiday is called Christmas (they could even explain that the RC church used the calendar day of a pagan holiday to celebrate it--they wouldn't be lying.) I don't expect them to be religious, hello it's PBS...
@AJOLT151 oops, didn't see the Christmas pageant clip that was probably on the same episode...they went into it a little bit at least
It's also interesting that they call Jesus a great teacher--but when He claimed deity, He either had to be telling the truth, a liar, or a madman (from Mere Christianity--CS Lewis...I know it's not exact wording, but close enough).
so back then ppl were impressed by lamps that stayed up for longer that they should lol. Would be interesting though to see a muslim or hindu tradition to be explained -_-
@tonkata06 =P it's more than just a lamp staying lit. It was something that was completely impossible, and these banished, impoverished people found it symbolic of their struggles and their faith. It's not the same now, obviously. Though I'd be pretty impressed if my match stayed lit for just two days.
@HayLotion Right, if there were no religion everything would be peaceful, because no one fights about money, property, power, race,or sex. Ridiculous. I suppose since you're a non religious person you've never had a fight or disagreement. Riiight.
I am not christian, Jew, Or atheist... I am witchcraft >:)

@wung97 That leads us to our next lesson, obviously the Catholic Hospitals weren't too terribly smart with their money. They may have worked hard for the money that they earned, but if they're spending it on plasma screen television sets for each patient, that's their problem. It isn't just that Jewish people are rich because they're Jewish, that's ridiculous.

Regardless of the real story, this video is great, people should respect all faiths regardless of blief and also observe decency in their comments, hate is one of the lowest kind of feelings that a person expresses out of fear and lack of intelligence. I have never seen so much hate against anyone as that of the anti-Semites that poison anything just to show their indecency and disregard for the audience. Hatemongers are the real cause of war and no prospect for Peace and prosperity for humanity

Four things: 1.) I laughed so hard when the TV jumped outta nowhere because it looked like it burst through the ceiling. XD 2.) Is it just me, or does Judah sound like Zapp Brannigan? Or...like some else...? 3.) I love how when Veronica Monica narrates, someone has to say what she just said. 4.) Sesame Street is AWESOME!

yo, first of all, this story isn't fully correct, some stuff is missing and other's added, nothing personal, but jews known in changing history, i mean, they even changed their own ''hebrew bible'' to gain the right of being ''best god's creatures'' and have the world in their hands... As u see now

Judah Macabee wasn't doing what he wanted to do, he did the will of G-D! This is so twisted and disgusting to water down this event down! There were 3 main Torah commandments that the Syrian Greeks forbid the Jews to obey: Rosh Chodesh (Jewish calendar), Circumcision, and Torah study. (The Jews could only learn the prophets section of the Hebrew bible as the Greeks saw it as a purely historical learning.

@arte1fiorino
Furthermore, the abbreviations "B.C." and "A.D." are now only used in religious contexts, as they depend upon an unscientific, unprooven, Christian falacy.
Instead, "B.C.E." (for "B.C.") and "C.E." (for "A.D.") are used. "B.C.E." stands for "Before the Current Era", and "C.E." stands for "Current Era".

artie1fiorino 1 year ago
@arte1fiorino
I get your point, but I feel I must correct you here.
"A.D." actually stands for the Latin phrase "Amino Domini" (sp), which means "in the year of our Lord". Also, year 1 is supposed to be the year Jesus was BORN, not the year he _died_.

If Jews and Christians came from Islam then explain this piece of factual history.........
Born in Mecca, in western Arabia, Muhammad (570–632 AD), last in the line of Judeo-Christian prophets, received his first revelation in 610.
Source: The Birth of Islam
By the way AD means after the death of Jesus!!
artie1fiorino 1 year ago
@artie1fiorino Nope. AD means Anno Domini, meaning year of our Lord.
Google it.
waterfallsandrain 1 year ago
@dualbladedroxas Um. Judhaism is older than Islam. Moses came way before Mohammed. And both Moses and Jesus are mentioned in Islam, making Islam the youngest of the Abrahamic religions. Just sayin.
But Abrahamic religions aren't the oldest either; they date back to only 1800 BC. Hinduism, Sumerian religion and Zoroastrianism are the world's oldest *known* religions. Just some fun facts. =) btw, Vaginawarden is a troll. don't feed them.

@PopCultureTart Modern Judaism is based around the oral laws and Babylonian TALMUD. It is descended from the Pharisee sect.
It is not the same religion as way back when.

@ExposeZionistCrimes I never said it was the same. No religion is the same today as it was when it started out. It'd be naive to think otherwise. So I don't see your point.

What a cute re-telling of the Hanukkah story! It explains the menorah thing, but it doesn't go into potato latkes (sour cream or apple sauce?) or dreidles ... inquiring minds want to know!!!
buddmar 1 year ago
@buddmar Shalom! Latkes or Levivot are new to Jewish tradition (around 400 years) Subganyot (kind of doughnuts filled with jam) are older but regardless of adapting food as age and time the symbolism of frying is realetad to the oil burning for 8 days as a "Divine" signal that Israel could win its freedom of worship from Greek oppression.

@LovezHD Many intolerant people do know the fact that Jesus was a Jew but want to ignore it. at least you are alittle more tolerant.

@lordironrat Just remember Jesus was a jew. In fact Jews came before christains. I am a Roman Catholic and I have many jewish friends. I have read history books, was told by my priest and many other ministers, and jews them self that Jesus was a Jew. So if you hate Jews than basiclly you hate jesus. because Jesus was a Jew. READ YOUR HISTORY!

laugheenoutLoud 1 year ago
It would be nice to see Christmas being explained, but I don't think Elmo has subscribed to the Christian Channel.
It is interesting that a children show even goes into the Maccabean era, but you think that if they could do that they could at least give the reason for why the holiday is called Christmas (they could even explain that the RC church used the calendar day of a pagan holiday to celebrate it--they wouldn't be lying.) I don't expect them to be religious, hello it's PBS...
AJOLT151 1 year ago
@AJOLT151 oops, didn't see the Christmas pageant clip that was probably on the same episode...they went into it a little bit at least
It's also interesting that they call Jesus a great teacher--but when He claimed deity, He either had to be telling the truth, a liar, or a madman (from Mere Christianity--CS Lewis...I know it's not exact wording, but close enough).

@tonkata06 =P it's more than just a lamp staying lit. It was something that was completely impossible, and these banished, impoverished people found it symbolic of their struggles and their faith. It's not the same now, obviously. Though I'd be pretty impressed if my match stayed lit for just two days.
