I wonder. Did Jesus celebrate Chanukah as a child?............

Maybe the mods can fix the title.

I read it as “Your Complete Hunk Guide”. I’m a little disappointed. ;-p

Are we now afraid to type the name “GOD”? Why “G-d”?

He was called "Epiphanes," meaning "the gods’ beloved."

From what I've read, "Epiphanes" means "god manifest" -- i.e. god in the flesh -- which would have been much more of an abomination to faithful Jews than "the gods' beloved" would.

Thanks for sharing!

We are lighting a menorah during Chanukah, too. We are not Jewish but my husband’s step-mother is and we would like our children to honor and respect her religious beliefs in addition to our Catholic beliefs. She decorates a Christmas tree with Jewish ornaments in addition to the traditional trimmings AND gives out the most fantastic Christmas gifts. It’s really a fun time of year for all of us. As we say on that side of the family, Merry Christmakkuh!!!
