Are you united with the CCOKCs?

Re: Time waste poll #1 - Hanukkah (clicky)

  • I'm not even sure I know what that is.   Is it something separate from Hanukkah?
  • Oh, I guess I thought from Adam Sandler's song that everyone knew that Hanukkah means "Festival of Lights"

  • I don't celebrate, except when we all play Dreidel with Noah Zach and Cole and make their Dad sing in Hebrew.

  • We celebrate Chrismakuh with my girlfriends - two are Jewish - as a way to teach the kids about both celebrations - although we have yet to teach the kids anything, we just usually drink a lot and talk and the kids play.
  • In a weird sort of way. DS goes to the JCC, so he's learning a ton about it, and we're episcopalian, so though we normally wouldn't, we've been talking about it, and talking about the ways in which both faiths celebrate similarly with lit candles, etc.

  • My dad is Jewish and my mom Catholic, so we celebrate both . . . loosely. Neither parent is religious, and we aren't either, but we still do the candles. The prayer over the menorah is actually the only prayer from either religion that I know by heart.

  • We don't celebrate but I taught my kiddos a unit on holidays around the world this past month and included several activities on Hanukkah.  I actually learned a lot with them when we did our research on the different holidays. It was fun.
  • I'm trying to learn some Jewish traditions, though I'm Christian.

    My grandfather was a rabbi, and left the faith before my mom was born.  I never learned anything about that side of my heritage, and as an adult, I'm curious. 

     I know I'm not considered Jewish but until my grandpa, all generations were, and I want to connect with those roots a little.

    So, last night I read about Hanukkah and made latkes.
