Opening Hanukkah Gift Set from American Girl!

Yay! My Hanukkah set just came in the mail for my dolls :D
I rate it *****! It is wonderful quality and absolutely gorgeous.
My only issues are:
1) When I opened the dreidel I noticed a small paint chip on one of the corners. It is barely noticeable, though, so it doesn't bother me much.
2) The candles are beautiful and very pretty but really fragile. If you buy this for a young child, make sure that you help them put the candles in and out of the menorah so that you won't break them.
Other than that I LOVE it! I totally recommend it. My favorite part of the set is the menorah :D

@pawprintzrule22 You probably got a different version. AG has released two versions in the past. The first had a menorah, gelt, dreidel, and a necklace. I just purchased the newer version which came with new things. :D

This is so cute! I really want to get it for Hanukkah!

There is no such thing as a Messianic Jew. It's a Christian organization. Jews for Judaism and Outreach Judaism are good sources for you to explore how the "Messianic Movement" is a Christian religious organization and a danger to our people. Stay proud and Jewish!

[AGmadeline17]

@Italkim A Messianic Jew IS such a thing and it is someone of Jewish heritage who believes that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah. It is VERY possible for someone to be a believer in Jesus AND be very proud of their Jewish heritage and celebrations! I know because I know many people who are. :) God Bless You!

@jhjjhg1 You should get it anyway! I'm not Jewish but I've celebrated Hanukkah and Passover my whole life because our best family friends are Messianic Jewish. And I also think that Christians should celebrate Hanukkah because it's a miracle that God did and just because it happened in Jewish history doesn't mean we can't celebrate it. ;)

@AGmadeline17 umm i got the new one but mine didnt come with that but what ever i still like it

[agangel1231]

do you celerbrate hannukkah?

[dollstarstudios]

Oh yeah! I'm Jewish, and I really wanted this, but I decided on a few other things instead.

[Italkim]

Actually you couldn't be more wrong. Jews for Jesus and it's "Hebrew Congregations" are funded by Evangelical Christian organizations that attempt to deceptively convert Jews to Christianity. Thankfully they have not been widely successful, because of our counter missionary organizations. Your claim that you know several Jews who believe in Jesus is baseless. There is not one legitimate Jewish movement here or abroad that recognizes a Messianic Jew as a Jew. It's simply not possible.
