Happy Chanuka!

Now, that's the spirit! Thanks everyone!

Chanukah Sameach Marlene and to all my other Jewish friends here on FAA. I have one more gift to wrap and 5 pounds of potatoes to grate and fry. lol My Granddaughter is making the sufganiyah. We are all going to look a bit more pudgy after tonight.

For those who are not Jewish, it is an ancient Jewish custom to eat fried/oily foods on Chanukah, since it is a Holiday that commemorates a miracle that occurred with oil.

Happy Chanukah!

Blessed Chanukah to you all! God bless!

Thanks,Marlene. Same to you and yours. This is such a happy holiday no matter what one's beliefs.

Happy Chanukah Marlene!

My granddaughter (6 years old) just said she was going to marry a Jewish husband, so she can celebrate Christmas for more than one day !!! ---- just thought I would share !!! Happy Chanukah to All !!! Enjoy your holiday !!

Happy Chanukah Marlene! All to all who celebrate! I love this time of year with all of our beliefs and customs and celebrations.

Quita,
Cute. Tell her that Chanukah is a very minor holiday...not even mentioned in the Torah. It's certainly not in the same league as xmas, just the same month.

I will tell her, Marlene ; ) we just had a discussion about that. We are off to the book store tomorrow to find a book on how others celebrate holidays that are different then ours . Great learning experience,while she is still interested in what I have to say. LOL

Marlene, my pennies at the ready. I am prepared to lose. My dreidel drops and then I lose. We have parties planned for Friday and Sunday.

This is a fun video. Enjoy!

Happy Chanukah! :)

May the lights of Hanukkah bring my Jewish friends joy and peace this holiday season!

have a good one! was just listening to how different religions decorate the fir tree to celebrate their own religions in december! they just use their own cultural decs... happy holidays and Chanukah! lol i love fried potatoes.

We don't have trees....but we sure get our fill of potato pancakes!!

Chanukah sameach!

I am not Jewish either Marlene, but Happy Chanukah to everyone!

Wishing you the best Marlene.

Happy Chanukah!

Truly now more than ever we need show our inner light to the world, Happy Chanukkah, Marlene!

Happy Chanukah to Marlene & Arlene, & all our Jewish friends here.

Gorgeous piece Marlene , as always .

A little tidbit about light....Chanukah falls of the 25th day of the month of Kislev. The 25th word in the Torah is "or", meaning light. "Let there be light!"
Quite a message....

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Chanukah Marlene!! :)

Happy Chanukah Marlene to you and your family.

Sincere thanks to all who stopped by to offer good wishes. Rest assured that there are many Jewish artists who don't make their religion known but are receiving the greetings as well.
Tonight is the third candle....

Wishing everyone a happy Hannukah and happy Kwanzaa and Merry Christmas!

Happy Chanukah, dear Marlene and all other Jewish fellow artists! Stay blessed!

I'm not Jewish, but I wish you a very wonderful Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah to all of those of the Jewish faith.

And Marlene, not a major holiday? I think celebrating and exchanging gifts for eight straight days is major! :)

My neighbours didn't place their Menorah in their
window this year...I must ask them why? I always
enjoyed to see a new lamp lit each day...

Happy Hannukah!

Kathy, to further explain, it's not about gifts.....at best, ours are meant to be small ones for the children. We were never meant to compete with xmas.
Chanukah acknowledges two miracles that occurred during one specific battle between a small band of Maccabeans who won against the Syrian army which was far larger...They were able to take back the great Temple, clean it and rededicate it and then use it to pray. Ultimately, the Temple was destroyed. This moment in history is very minor in light of the Jewish history.
If celebrated in the proper way, we simply acknowledge God's miracles. ;)

It's all about the Neis

Happy Chanukah to you too Marlene!

Marlene, khaverti heyekarah,

CHANUKAH SAMEACH

Always loved this:

Happy Chanukah, and I agree with your philosophy Marlene about the brightest light lies within.

OMG, Terrie!! that is fantastic...I just sent it around to my family!
Roger, yes, thank you!

7th candle lighting tonight....I'll post my fully lit Chanukiah ( 9 branched menorah) tomorrow evening!

I hate to show my cultural ignorance but did we change the spelling of Chanukah this year?

Happy Chanukah, everyone. Wishing all peace and happiness.

Chanukah is a Hebrew word. It begins with a gutteral sound that the English language doesn't have, much less a letter equivalent.
'Ch' is much closer than an 'h'
In all reality, the only proper spelling of chanukah is in Hebrew letters. ;)
Thanks for asking!

My sincere thanks to all who stopped by to offer their wishes during the last week of Chanukah in the Hebrew year of 5775.
