Happy Hanukkah!

I didn't see your reply because the former update! Sorry for the late reply! 😣

Oh! Thank you! I was thinking you meant that it was a special candle when I read it😂 That's a sad and beautiful tradition🥹

I don't really understand what you mean with that the light stay so long. It's just ordinary candles. Or do you mean the text? It's about the reason we celebrate it cuz like long long time ago ppl hated us (as usual 😜) and there was like king or something in Greece and maybe also Syria i think that was like took Jerusalem or something and then it was like a temple there and they took it from us and we took it back against like all odds...and then we took it back there was just oil enough for light in the holy room for one day and it would take like 8 days or something to produce new oil buy they prayed to Hashem and then the oil let the light be lit all the time until new oil was made so like s miracle and thats why have 8 candles on the chanukkian (plus the middle candle that is only to start the other candles with... Hard to explain) Maybe I wrote something a little wrong cuz I'm not like a rabbi or anything but this is how I remember what Grandpa have told me.

Yes my grandpa told me also then he got home. It was like my fault cuz I was like not thinking about it and my dad's are not very religious or traditional so they didn't told me to change it. 😳

Its not really important. Most ppl and especially if not Jewish would say like happy Hanukkah or happy holiday I mean it's not the words that is important really. But like cuz you asked I tell you like how you can answer if you want to like show you understand Jewish culture; Chag Sameach eller Chag Hanukkah Sameach Chag is like holiday and sameach is like happy so it works for all Jewish holidays: just chag sameach or like chag pesach sameach or like Chag sukkot Sameach or whatever holiday it is (cuz we have like plenty! Mostly it's about ppl wanted to kill us but we survived and then celebrate life - that's like super Jewish 😎✡️)
