Hanukkah comes from the Hebrew word meaning dedication. The history of Hanukkah begins with Alexander the Great who, after conquering Syria, Egypt and Judea, allowed all people to continue to observe their chosen religions.  It wasnít until later that the successor of Alexander the Great, Antiochus IV, caused a great upheaval in among the Jewish population.

What to get someone for Hanukkah?

pinkwarr asked:


I just found out that my daughters kindergarten teacher celebrates Hanukkah. I would like to get her a gift this holiday season, but I do not want to offend her. I do not know anyone who is Jewish, so I ‘m not sure what would be appropriate. Any suggestions would be helpful. She is a wonderful teacher, and I want to get her a gift just to show my appreciation.

Can you change your religion? Be Both?

Justine asked:


My mother is Christian And my Father is Jewish.

When people ask I say I am both Christian and Jewish. Im not religiously Jewish, I have never prayed in Jewish. But when I was younger, my mom would take me to church and I do celebrate both Christian and Jewish Holidays (Just Easter, Hanukkah, and Christmas)
(Not much praying goes on, we just open presents – exchange gifts)

Is it possible to just practice one religion and stay that way?

And it is possible to have two different religions run through your blood, be mixed, right?
