Is anyone else celebrating Chanukah this year? It starts at sundown on December 8th and ends at sundown on the 16th.

nope


I'm celebrating the birth of my wonderful Savior

So you come into a topic that literally had nothing to do with god, didn't insult him in any manor whatsoever, and decided to post in here like your religion is superiority and just get in peoples faces?

nope

Funny, because Based God's birthday is in August.

On that note, Chanukah has pretty much nothing about God. It's about miracles. Specifically, the Maccabees winning the battle against the Syrian Greeks and the light in the temple that was supposed to have enough oil to last for just one day lasting for eight.

Well, you don't have to celebrate the birthday on the actual birthday.

I have always been curious... what are Dreidels for?

 

[Nabber]

Jews didn't want to be caught practicing Judaisim, so when the baddies came around they pretended they were playing games instead.

That's true. We should always celebrate Lil B.

spinning

I think they're dice.

 

[ralphfan]

Nabber has this one right. They're basically four-sided spinning tops.

Well IDK. I remember spending Hanukkah at this Jewish kid's house when I was like 8 and there were different outcomes depending on which side the dreidel landed on.
