Although the Book of Maccabees and the siddur attribute the victory to God, nothing would have happened unless the Maccabeees picked up their swords and shields and went to battle. This type of miracle is a partnership between God and humans. This is the type of miracle that we rely upon every day. ...

I’m Jewish and I hate Christmas. There, I’ve said it. Do you really need to read any more? Yet somehow I’m going to muster my strength to tell you more. I hate the commercialism as much as anybody.

Hanukkah is a great example of the Jewish Holiday motto "They tried to kill us, we won, let's eat." If you want the rest of the details for the holiday - you know, questions like Who tried to kill us? How did we win? What do we eat? Where can I buy great Hanukkah gifts in the Twin Cities?
