Good morning open minded friends,
L'Chaim!
Tonight at sundown, Hanukkah begins. Hanukkah is the Celebration of Lights that Jewish people celebrate every year. For eight days they remember when their ancestors fought for freedom. They escaped slavery and had very little oil to light their lamps. Miraculously, the oil lit their lamps for eight nights until they reached their safety.
Each day of Hanukkah, families light an additional candle on the menorah. By the eighth day, they will have eight lit candles! (the ninth candle is used to light the others)
What traditions does your family do for the holidays?
Be good. Be nice. Behave!
