Happy Hanukkah!

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. The holiday is a celebration of the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. We believe a miracle happened, because while there was only enough oil for the menorah for one night, but the oil lasted eight nights (when oil arrived).
So, it’s a celebration of oil. We make potato pancakes (called latkes) fried in oil. And some people – our family now included – make jelly doughnuts.
So happy Hanukkah!

Every holiday should have a jelly doughnut associated with it.
