Happy Chanukah!

Auggie playing with his/our ball launcher. Soft balls he can carry around are his faves. (It was a joint cat/human gift. I'm easily amused...)

Our favorite family tradition is Catnukah. Each night of #Chanukah we light the candles, feed the cats a treat, and then give them a present. And the cats LOVE it.

This year on the first night Auggie meowed happily as soon as I started setting up the menorah. He remembered!

All of them gather to watch us light. But of course the treats and toys are their highlight.

For the 7th year running we made this recipe and it continues to be worth the mess. We’ve found it’s optimal to have 11 people so everyone gets two and there’s some spares. I never liked jelly donuts much, but being able to use a really yummy jams for filling changed that for me. #cooking #sufganiot #ħanukah https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/hanukkah-doughnuts

Wishing you a bright and meaningful Hanukkah and holiday season.

As we light the candles, let their glow remind us of the power of hope, resilience, and the miracles we hold on to during challenging times.

This year, my prayers extend to the safe return of the hostages, protection for those in harm’s way, and a longing for peace and understanding to prevail.

May we all strive toward a world that celebrates cultures, fosters truth, and cherishes progress — together building bridges that lead to light, not darkness.

From my heart to yours, may this season bring strength, love, and renewed hope.

Love these Dreidel treats by @erin.eats.mtl 🕎

Dreidel is /se-vee-'von/ סביבון in Hebrew

Turning or spinning is /see-'voov/ סיבוב

So you can see where the dreidel gets its name from.

Everywhere I turn, it's Christmas lights, wreaths, and Santa hats galore.

It’s beautiful, no doubt — but as someone who celebrates Hanukkah, I can’t help but feel a little outnumbered.

And then it happened!

I spotted a menorah tucked in among the candy canes.

It was like stumbling upon a hidden treasure in the middle of a Christmas wonderland.

Not long after, I saw a dreidel nestled on a store shelf, quietly holding its own between shiny red ornaments and gingerbread men.

It felt like these little pieces of Hanukkah were winking at me, reminding me that our light shines even in unexpected places.

It’s funny how something so small can feel like a warm hug from home when you're not expecting it.

It made me pause, smile, and think: even in a world of Christmas glitter, there’s always room for a little Hanukkah magic.

Experts say T-shirts and mugs glorifying Grzegorz Braun’s vandalism of a menorah in the Polish parliament is a part of a wave of online support for his anti-Semitic act.

Der rechtsextreme polnische Parlamentsabgeordnete, Grzegorz Braun, hat mit einem Feuerlöscher die Chanukkia gelöscht, die für den jüdischen Feiertag im Parlamentsgebäude angezündet wurde.
Er ließ sich davon auch nicht abhalten, als eine Frau sich im in den Weg stellte, auch sie griff er mit dem Feuerlöscher an.
