It’s Hanukkah!

This Jewish festival of lights is from November 29 to December 6. The Jewish date is: from 25 Kislev to 2 Tevet. The celebration has nothing to do with Christmas, but is a commemoration of a great victory of the then (167-160 BCE) small Jewish army against the massive Greek army of bloodthirsty Syrian soldiers. Hanukkah, a celebration with a history that sadly repeats itself all the time. Reason to consider it every year.
