Happy Hanukkah!

Place Setting
Menorah

Things we learned:

  1. The first day of Hanukkah and the first night of Hanukkah are not the same thing. This year the first night was 12/16, but we celebrated the first day 12/17.
  2. Proper dreidel spinning technique
  3. That Mommy likes latkes, but Riley is not a fan
  4. That there are several different verses in the dreidel song
  5. One of the acceptable spellings of Hanukkah
  6. The candle used to light the other candles is called the shamash
  7. You light the candle at night then blow it out and relight it the next night
  8. Hanukkah being way less commercialized than Christmas is part of what makes it fun!
  9. The first female rabbi was ordained in East Berlin in 1935, but female rabbis have only been ordained since 1972 in the US

Chag Urim Sameach!
