Happy Chanukkah חֲנֻכָּה (Hanukkah) My Hebrew/Jewish Friends, Family & Viewers

Hello Beautiful Hebrew/Jewish People!!!!

Today I want to wish you all a healthy and happy Hanukkah!!!! Not sure why I kept saying Jewish New Year but whatever its the thought that counts, I am usre if your watching this you know what I meant to say LOL

Just a short video, nothing fancy, nothing to cook, nothing to help you lose weight, not a discussion of my own weight loss, just a good greeting for those who celebrate this holiday.

חֲנֻכָּה

Chanukkah (Hanukkah) is the Festival of Lights. On the 25th of Kislev are the days of Chanukkah, which are eight... these were appointed a Festival with Hallel [prayers of praise] and thanksgiving.

Chanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev.

Chanukkah is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews (and even many assimilated Jews!) think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas, adopting many of the Christmas customs, such as elaborate gift-giving and decoration.

Enjoy Your Holiday!!!

@LosingDrea Ha! :-)

@Lisasnovel2011 Makes sense LOL though I believed that sundown on the 21st this year is what it said on where I found it from when I Googled it. Still confused, which is why I love to celebrate Christmas, easier to remember the dates since they occur on the same days every year no matter what! =)

@LosingDrea I just noticed my calendar has 3 *** which has a footnote that says that all Jewish holidays begin at sundown the day before. ;-)

@Lisasnovel2011 Okay, well let me know what you find out when you do. As it is for me I would think tonight is the 2nd night and 3 candles should be lit on the menorah and we must be out of candles because my mom has not lit even 1!

[Lisasnovel2011]

@LosingDrea Oh well no worries! lol. I will get a new calendar and see what it says lol.

@Lisasnovel2011 I love the stars and that beautiful blue color. My mom usually lights her menorah but she forgot to last night unless her calendar is the same one you have, but look it up on Google and its the 20th is the 1st night for this year. Someone made a mistake somewhere LOL

@LosingDrea I got me some Star of David napkins and some Hanakkah decorations in my bathroom.

[Lisasnovel2011]

@LosingDrea ok Help me out then cuz my calendar says Hanakkah is dec. 21st.

[LosingDrea]

@Lisasnovel2011 You must have: Hanukkah began in the evening of Tuesday, December 20, 2011, and ends in the evening of Wednesday, December 28, 2011. It changes each year. I am Jewish by birth but I am a terrible Jew since I have been in more Churches than any temples I ever visited. I got word of the holiday and just wanted to send my wishes to those who celebrate it. I almost missed it was the festival of lights when I kept saying the Jewish New Year LOL

Hannakkah is December 21st. Did I miss something?
