@@tom_olofsson Probably true, can't be hirer than your iq.
I discovered that I Jewish via ancestry, 23 and me , MyHeritage. I would like to celebrate Hanukkah this year since I never did it before
I'm just here cause I wanted to know what the holiday was about! Thanks for sharing your culture.❤
So glad you found me!
thank u for this video! I’m not Jewish but I feel like it’s good to learn abt Jewish holidays and traditions.
They are God's Feasts.. all Christians should celebrate... we will be celebrating them in heaven!
I love this torah observant Christian here and loving your content.
I’m fascinated by Jewish culture and I really would like to learn more
Glad you found my videos! 🤗
I really liked this video - I have a friend who is Jewish and I wanted to get a little more educated on her culture and this really helped get a better understanding. Thank you 🙏
Happy First Night of Hanukkah for you and your family! ❤️🕎✡️
Shalom, I come from a family of mixed religious traditions - Catholic and Jewish. As a child we celebrated Hanukkah and Christmas , Passover and Easter. The traditions are amazing and reveal so much for us. The Feast of the Dedication story in Maccabees is not in the Torah yet it is in Catholic Sacred Scripture. Never understood why the story is not included in the Hebrew Torah yet somehow made it into the Catholic Bible. Peace be with you.
Well, leave it to Peter to have probably had a roll in it. Peace be with you and
Shalom
Partially because they fought on the sabbath- the rabbis deciding what belongs in the Tanakh didn't want contradictions to the laws.
may you have a blessed and happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish people from your Muslim brother
Thank you 💙
שלום سلام
Love this!! “Fill in the blanks”. I converted last year! So I am still “filling in the blanks” 💗
Hooray! I'm so glad I could help.
Lisasoko I love this too! I’m connecting with my family roots
from what. and also how old were you. i’m struggling right now
Was it hard ?
Sorry but 2 prayer is nit supposed to be, the one God commanded us to light candles, because God didn't command that because is not in the Torah us just a beautiful Jewish tradition....
I found this video very interesting. Either though I am not Jewish, I love and have a strong appreciation towards the Jewish heritage and culture. I think that Hanukkah is a great holiday and you do a nice job describing the basics of the holiday of Hanukkah. May you be blessed greatly this upcoming Hanukkah and I am looking forward to your future videos. Thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about our traditions!
I think that here in the states Hanukkah has become much more celebrated; I believe that this is because Christmas predominates.
As it happens, Hanukkah follows a different calendar, so it will not always occur during the Christmas season.
My best friend in my youth was Jewish. I learned a great deal about Jewish culture. Ridiculously (remember I was a child) I felt sorry for him at Christmas; he didn't celebrate Christmas of course, so there was no tree or carols or Santa - but worst of all
there were no presents ! I felt horrible.
Until his Bar Mitzvah. I sat on his couch with him while he opened one letter after the next; each of them had very generous monetary gifts - and I mean 'a lot' of money, A LOT of money. 'WOW' I thought, I want to be Jewish too ! 🤦 just kidding.
I didn't feel bad anymore. 🤐
I’ve been wanting to learn about Hanukkah for a while since my friend is Jewish and her religion seems really interesting. Thank you for explaining it so simply, Happy Hanukkah!!! 🕎
I watched this last year preparing for hannukah and am watching it again this year! Thank you!
Wonderful! I’m so glad I could help.
Thank you SO much! I have been wanting to learn more about my own heritage and practices and after checking out a movie from the library about "The Macabees" my kids have been gobbling up everything I could find. Now I'm gobbling up all of your videos. Thanks for making them.
Not Jewish, but always admired the Jewish faith. This was very informative, thank you!
Sorry but 2 prayer is nit supposed to be, the one God commanded us to light candles, because Gid didn't command that because us not in the Torah us just a beautiful Jewish tradition....
Happy Hanukkah! I hope yall will be blessed in the name of Yeshua our messiah
i work at a daycare and we have 3 kids who are Jewish (a lot for where i live haha) and have been watching your videos for a more basic understanding. it’s been incredibly informative! thank you!
That's nice! I feel blessed for having heard the story of Hanukkah from a verbal tradition. Loving the hand gestures.
Happy Hanukah 🕎❤
thank u sm unfortunately i don’t have anyone to teach me about my culture so these videos help a lot
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
This is great, thank you! This is our first year celebrating
I don't celebrate but my friend does. I'm trying to learn so I can involve her more. Thank you for helping me!
You're awesome and a good friend.
Hanukkah always looks like so much fun.
As a adopted kid who’s bio parents are jewish I love learning about my culture

Thank you

You're very intelligent please come talk to my students
Thank you. What do you teach?
Everyday Jewish Mom I teach English but they only thought Christmas existed and I'm trying to brighten their horizons. I'm brining them sufganiyot tomorrow and will talk about that a little. Some of my students never heard of Hanukkah before
How long do you burn the candles for each night? Do they burn down totally? And therefore need replacing each night? Or are they only lit for a certain amount of time? Thanks
Can I celebrate Hanukkah as a Christian?? I really like the culture and since we don't celebrate Christmas in our house (since it originated from a pagan holiday) I really am looking for something to do
Thank you for asking this question. No, please do not celebrate Hanukkah on your own. Judaism is a closed practice.
Thank you for the video I wanted to draw stickers of different holidays and I felt like Hanukkah needed to be apart so I wanted to know more about it to draw it also I was wondering if it’s alright to draw something from Hanukkah I don’t want to do anything disrespectful 🙃 please let me know
Here’s my guide for Hanukkah merchandise. There are a lot of important details. everydayjewishmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Hanukkah-Info-Sheet-2021.pdf
I’m now trying to be Jewish because my dad is so now I have to stop Christmas because I’m tired of it. I just wanted to know the holidays and I know that Hanukkah started yesterday but I want to know how to do for next year
Welcome! I'm glad I can help you learn.
If the first evening's candle is supposed to burn down, and on and on, do you replace the first when adding the second and so on? So, instead of eight candles through the holiday, does that mean you need to have a stock of 64 candles?
The first night we light 1 candle plus the helper candle (2 total). Second night we use 3 and so one. It’s 44 candles total and Hanukkah candles are sold in boxes for 44.
Just curious if anyone could help, where in the bible/Torah/Tanach are we commanded to light the menorah? I want to read about that to better understand the Hebrew/Jewish holidays
Bonsoir, I have a question, It has not been possible to buy a Menorah, here in France, I have to mail order one. Can I just bring together mixed candles to celebrate ? I did not learn this in time, so I am late in the mail order, and one will not arrive in time.
Yes, the only rule is that candles have to burn for 30 mins. You can make a menorah out of anything. There are tons ways to make a menorah. Also, see if there is a Chabbad in your area. If you’re Jewish, they’ll give you candles and help you get a menorah.
@@EverydayJewishMom Bonsoir. I live in Provins. There are no Jewish people here. and I am a Noahide in training 😁. I will look at your other videos to learn. I have been doing everything on RUclips, by myself.
If a Jewish person lives in New Zealand, what do they do with the festival of Sukkot? It's cold at that time of year, are they still expected to still build a hut outside? Thanks
You'd better. Or you might not make it in
When do you start burning the candles?🤩
The first night of Hanukkah is Dec 22, 2019. That night we’ll light 1 candle.
Can’t find the how to light Menorah video you speak of.
ruclips.net/video/Hps1jLISP64/видео.htmlsi=2af2gPevRiqznKIG
I have been invited to Hanukah but I'm not Jewish so I have to investigate it
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to learn about our traditions.
I just found out I'm very very Jewish, I'm 43 and don't know were to start....any help would be appreciated.
If you're still looking for guidance, the first step would be to reach out to a local rabbi. There are usually classes you can take to learn more about Judaism.
@@loupgarou95 Thank You!
Is it OK to read Torah and learn about Jewish religion and be Jewish even if you do not have Jewish ancestry? I was not raised with any religion outside of teachings about traditional land and dream time from my mum and elders in the community. But it was mostly learning about animals and nature and to respect elders and be loyal and hard working. Is it OK for someone who has no religion to choose to belong to Jewish religion like for example how people choose to adopt Buddha and Buddhism? I am from Australia and grew up on country , but now I have been living in Finland for 6 years and most people are Christian but I have never been exposed to the bible, church or raised in a Christian tradition.
You’re always welcome to learn. In order to study Torah the way we do, you need to do it with other Jews. And to become Jewish you need to go though a conversation process.
hi im new to this channel
Welcome.
🙏✡️
I want to wish my Jewish friends Happy Hanukkah do you say happy Hanukkah on the first evening or on the eighth evening?
Anytime during the 8 days would work just be lovely.
@@EverydayJewishMom thank you so much and Happy Hanukkah to you and yours!
This video is great except for one boo-boo (factual error). The Hanukkah story occurred around 168 BCE, not 1600 BCE. If you could correct, I'd be more comfortable sharing.
Yes. I misspoke. Unfortunately there’s no way for me to make the correction once it’s posted. I always hope the corrections like yours in the comments or the links to historical sources will do the trick.
Hmmm
Takes 8 days to consecrate more oil
Who came for ItsLimey? Hehe
Can you not be Hebrew and still Celebrate Hanukkah?
I guess that’s up to you.
@@EverydayJewishMom Thank you
I heard Jewish people did not believe that Jesus is the messiah is that true?
Yes we have a holiday called Passover where we leave wine for the messiah to come
jesus is gonna be really pissed when he hears about these jewish folks
Do i have to be white to be Jewish?
Hey can you have a candle and you like one day it’s for eight days from Monica Monica is eight days it makes you like one candle every day when every eight days when it comes Monica Monica
You said “sixteen hundred bce” but it’s more like 160 bce
Yes. I misspoke in the video. Thanks for the correction.
Thanks so much! Great job. :)
You are welcome to hear our musical version of the candle lighting song.

Another Holiday?? - “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11
Kids read everyday Isaiah 7:11-16
Then he retorted: "Listen, house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you also try the patience of my God? therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: the maiden is with child and she will bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel
Then they read Isaiah 53 and all puzzles become Our Lord Jesuschrist 🙏
It hard to cover the sun ☀️ with a finger
I am catholic but I decided to light a menorah this year
I as a Christian is so interested in celebrating Hannukah. Christmas just became too stale and commercialized overall.
Plus, it has more solid biblical basis than christmas
Ummm. It's not even in the bible. It's in the macabees
I love Jewish mythology.
Sorry but 2 prayer is not supposed to be, the one God commanded us to light candles, because God didn't command that because is not in the Torah us just a beautiful Jewish tradition....
Thanking God for the miracle of that day , even though God didn't commanded ,if you think about it God wouldn't be mad at His people He will be proud that His children are trying to thank Him for the miracle of that day.
Actually it's mentioned in The New Testament. The Bible says, And he (Jesus) went up to Jerusalem for the feast of dedication. Hanukkah is called the feast of lights/feast of dedication. It's a prophecy of Jesus being the light of the world and a celebration of the true Temple of God, the church, Jews and gentiles.
geek new testament was made by the philosopher Greeks and Romans abd they all hated Jewish people....and still today's date the new religion called Christianity....
Sorry but 2 prayer is nit supposed to be, the one God commanded us to light candles, because Gid didn't command that because us not in the Torah us just a beautiful Jewish tradition....
Jesus is a Greco-Roman gid made by the pagan Europeans...
Yessss Katie! Finally truth😄 love my Hebrew family we’re one in Messiah Yeshua Hamashiac🙌🏽 you’ll see 💕💕💕💕
@@EssenesOrthopraxy Please provide evidence because youre just making arbitrary assertions.
Well, you can’t even bring yourself to say the word Christmas.
@Haxkarl CHRISTmas is not a pagan holiday. Yes, Constantine aligned it to the winter solstice but it’s not a pagan holiday.
Please don't use bce that is a nod to atheistic views.
Upward pitch is irritating
What does that mean?
@@EverydayJewishMom they are talking about your voice. Just ignore them. Thank you so much for the educational content!
Yeah, I Googled it. It’s just such a useful thing to comment. I had to respond.

Happy Hanukkah
Marti, I have enjoyed subscribing to your RUclips channel this year. I'm not Jewish, but I've long been interested in learning about Jewish holidays because my mother taught secular studies at our local Jewish day school for
10 years back in the 1960s, and she shared what she'd learned with my father and me.
I would like to share something I came up with last year around Hanukkah, when you had your video on making jelly doughnuts for the holiday. I had eaten so many jelly doughnuts from Whole Foods during that time that I wanted to come up with something that wouldn't make me feel so guilty.
I bought a bag of Whole Foods "Snowflake" dinner rolls from their bakery, just the right size and shape. I had strawberry preserves, butter, and sugar on hand. I heated one snowflake roll in the microwave for 10 seconds. That made it slightly softer and the right texture for what comes next. Using a grapefruit spoon, I gently bore a cavity from the side of the warm roll down into its center. Then I spooned strawberry jam into the cavity. Then I brushed the top of the roll with the smallest amount of softened butter and sprinkled it with a little granulated turbinado sugar. Repeat for as many "jelly doughnuts" as you need. These really are delicious. I should mention that I don't think the Whole Foods snowflake rolls are Kosher.
This sounds like an awesome shortcut! I’ll have to give it a try. Thank you so much for the beautiful comment and great idea.
@@EverydayJewishMom Thanks, Marti!
It took me a few tries to determine how many seconds to microwave the snowflake roll so that it would be warm and just soft enough. Too soft, and the next step of filling it with the preserves won't work right. Since every microwave is different, you might have to try several different times to find the best one. My microwave is 1200 watts.
