Today is Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday that celebrates "the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem" (internet sourced) and is kind of similar to the (originally Christian) holiday of Christmas, but Hanukkah lasts eight days and involves lighting the menorah, among other traditions that make Hanukkah very unique in its own holiday!

I just wanted to bring attention to it! Happy Hanukkah!


Love ya'll,

I love spreading the word of equality and I hate discrimination against any race, ethnic group, religion, LGBTQIA+ preference, etc. You, your culture, your religion, your family, your tradition, your heritage, EVERYTHING is awesomesauce. It is what makes all of us different. It's what makes the world go 'round. You're human!

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise :]

yo

happy Hanukkah!

my dads side of the fam is Jewish and my moms side is Catholic so we celebrate broth Hanukkah and Christmas.

btw, Hanukkah is completely different from Christmas. It is celebrating the miracle of the oil lamp. There was a war against the Greeks and Jews and the Greeks wrecked the Jews sinaguage. (basically a Jewish church- also I think I spelled it wrong) so the oil was only supposed to last one night in the oil lamp, but it lasted eight.

Thanks for letting me know, this is some really important information :D

by (167k points)
I don't hate you for it.
by (530k points)
That's not good. I'm guessing that the hate is because of anti-Semitism...

Are you Jewish?

Yes I am Jewish the hate is so hard thank you both for not hating me!
