Quoting: La_ladum okay so can one of you guys explain me in short what actually is Hanukkah? something about a candle being lit for 8 days or something? Quoting: IMAX Its a Festival 8 day celebration of light dedicating the Second Temple Beit Hamikdash after the revolt led by the Maccabees against the Syrian Greeks and Greek Gods Its also a time to reflect on Moshiach.. and the symbolism of 7 lights being seven planets and seven ages of man and seven colors of the rainbow... Lala..thank you for the compliments ! You are very knowledgeable. Please check your inbox.. |

Quoting: La_ladum ... Quoting: amarilloemily We are commanded in Scripture to keep the Holy Days that YHVH set forth they are His Holy Days or appointments with His people not "jewish" holidays. That being said, Chanukka is not a commanded moed of our Abba but is a day of celebration of an amazing victory over evil. Now, non Christian holidays?...Are all founded and based on pagan gods/goddesses. Do a search on Christmas and easter and read for yourself the origins of these so called Christian holidays which are never mentioned in Scripture nor hinted at in anyway. You may be amazed that all this time you feel you are honoring the Messiah when you are in essence slapping Him in the face with pagan tradition. God Himself spoke to Moshe and is recorded in Deut. "Do not accept the way of the pagans and worship Me as they do their gods, it is an abomination to Me". Paraphrased You're nuts. Man is not going up (evolving). He's created technology that he can't control. He's poisoning his nest. The highest race, Whites, seem intent on breeding itself out of existence. Man will go down either through sudden destruction or slower devolution. I do not believe there is a "highest Race" it is very troubling to me that this is even said.... aka urkidding & NobodysFriend |

Or as I like to put it..."Way to capitalize on a significant Christian holiday with an insignificant one that basically represents a building dedication Quoting: Anonymous Coward 969944 just WOW...another uneducated imbecile! Yes, uneducated to say the least ! Chanukah is so much more than just the Maccabees reclaiming the Holy Temple ! It represent a miracle, the great victory of a small army over the massive Seleucid army ! |

| roadrunnerray User ID: 1352816 United States12/08/2012 12:36 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When you try to transliterate a word from a Non-English alphabet into an English one, it leaves a lot to the imagination. And you get variant spellings because the "real" spelling does not use English letters at all. The matter is made worse in this case because the first letter of Chanukah is a "Chet." It is a sound that many people who have no experience with either Hebrew or Arabic find hard or impossible to pronounce. They often mis-speak it as an "H" sound. But I don't think how it's spelled really matters at all IMHO ! It's the holiday that matters, the festival of lights !  And the wishes offered up with love!!! |

Quoting: IMAX Well, from what I've read, the holiday celebrates two things; a great Jewish military victory and a miraculous supply of oil for the Temple. 1. Celebration of the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Macabees' defeat of the Greek-Syrian army that had invaded Israel. 2. And the miracle of the oil. They only had one days worth of oil to light the eternal flame in the temple, but the lamp miraculously stayed lit for 8 days which was enough time for more oil to be brought to the temple.

And you get variant spellings because the "real" spelling does not use English letters at all. Exactly. The etymology of the word is quite extensive depending on the alphabet you are using. Hanukkah pronounced [Xanu'ka] in Modern Hebrew; a transliteration also romanized as Chanukah, Chanukkah or Chanuka) *note* I do not have the font to make the X into the Hebrew letter it should be in Modern Hebrew. It shows up as weird symbols. Last Edited by Éireann on 12/08/2012 01:28 PM Éireann~ Eisteacht le gra! ~ArunaLuna (Translation from Gaelic: "Listen to Love!")
