Happy Hanukkah


Having just been in Israel we've learned a lot about Jewish culture and customs. We realize we probably don't have Jewish readers, but there's no reason we can't wish you a Happy Hanukkah. Here's to the festival of lights!
(The above photo is our Jerusalem tour guide Raphy next to the menorah built according to Torah instructions for the Old Testament tabernacle. This is the menorah the Jews believe will be used in the future temple in Jerusalem when the Messiah comes. It's solid gold and worth millions of dollars.)

Did you hear that Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah has just written and recorded a Hannukah song?

Our family enjoys Hanukkah...we light the menorah each night and read a book called the Hanukkah Mice!
