    Merry Hanukah!

    Since there seems to be a lot of confusion among non-Jews about Hanukah, the Jewish holiday that begins tonight, I think I need to explain this one. Hanukah celebrates the birth of the Jewish savior, Moses. Moses was born in Egypt, a filthy country right next to Israel that’s filled with Arabs. When Moses was born, the Jews were so thrilled that they immediately began partying, and they continued partying all the way until Moses’ brit milah, which happened eight days after his birth. That is why Hanukah lasts for eight days. During the celebrations, they went to some Egyptian restaurants and ordered mainly fried foods, such as chicken shnitzel, and falafel with “chips” (actually potatoes cooked in the French style), and that is why we still eat fried food on Hanukah today.

    I hope you all liked learning about Hanukism and enjoy celebrating Hanukah.
