Hanukkah

I have never like these types of jokes and do not find them ammusing. I know of someone who makes jokes like this a lot and I'm not even Jewish, but feel there shouldn't be in stereotyped jokes for ANYONE. Why did these jokes come about in the 1st place? It's ridiculous.

I'd like to remove it as easily as possible w/o scratching or tarnishing the menorah.

Should I stick to any guidelines (besides than 8 candle holders with a 9th slightly higher than the others). I want to show my apprieciation for her sharing the concepts of her faith with me - obviously the last thing I would want to do is commit some grave mistake!

For example - can I sculpt a tree and make it into a menorah? Are there "subjects" or 'things' that the menorah should never look like?

Do the 8 candles need to be exactly even in height?

If it matters, they do not keep Kosher, but are Israeli.

Thanks for helping me!!

I recieved an email a few days ago entitled "how the left stole christmas" (you can read the poem here--http://hernandoccc.blogspot.com/2006/12/how-left-stole-christmas.html) from a member in a yahoo women's group. I responded that it was very offensive and that it was expressing a lack of respect for other faith's celebrations (being a Christian married to a Jew and celebrating Christmas and Chanukah). Would you have said something, ignored and deleted it? What, if anything, would you have done?

I want to learn everything I can to honor and celebrate Hanukkah each year. I want to teach my godchildren about Hanukkah as well. I would sincerely love to learn about this Jewish holiday and if there are any secular significance of the season like the secular significance of Christmas is shopping for gifts. I know gifts have something to do with it as well. Any homemade suggestions as well as suggestions that involve purchasing would be appreciated. Please enlightening me as much as you can (websites and all). I want to celebrate Hanukkah next year with my godchildren. Essentially, as implied, you could say its for educational purposes. Thank you in advance as I greatly appreciate it.

If you don't celebrate christmas, what is your opinion on christmas trees? Is it disrespectful or dishonorable for you to have one if you observe a different religion? Do you consider the christmas tree to be a religious item?

Would it be ok to celebrate this without offending any one, and what would be a good website to learn about it? I am thinking about doing it next year when my kids are old enough to remember it, right now they are 2 and 3.

I work at a department store in a mostly Jewish dominated neighborhood and when I cashier I mostly tell people happy holidays when they buy anything. But if they are buying some Chanukah gift wraps I think it would be pretty cool to tell them happy Chanukah In Hebrew. (I'm Jewish myself but not religious and my family doesn't follow the traditions)

I am from Brazil and we do have lots of people jewish people there...also, we are a very tolerant country when it comes to race and faith... I had lots of jewish friends, but never heard about Hannuka.... Only heard about Yonk Pur (sp?) and some other big one... both are so big over there than there is no school on those days...

But, for sure, the first time ever I heard about Hannuka was when I spen my first X-mas here, in 2004.

Do different countries practice the faith differentely?

I'm a first grade secular teacher in a private modern orthodox Jewish school and I'm struggling to find ideas/printables for educational Chanukah projects for my students to do next week. There seems to be a distinct lack of Jewish stuff on the net for me to use (which is frustrating). Any ideas would be awesome. Especially if it's something I can print out for them to make or do. And any ideas for cheap Chanukah gifts would be greatly appreciated!!

Chanukah sameach! :)

I have heard of Hanukkah but I haven't heard of Chanukah. Do they mean the same thing? I am really interested in learning about other holidays and religons.
