Hi Everyone!
Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, is observed for
eight days, beginning on the evening of the 25th day of
the Hebrew month of Kislev. This year Chanukah starts
at sundown, Sunday, December 25, 2005.
Chanukah is a wonderful holiday of renewed dedication,
faith, hope and spiritual light. It's a holiday that says: "Never lose
hope." Chanukah commemorates the victory of a small band of Maccabees
over the pagan Syrian-Greeks who ruled over Israel.
The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment
has several entertaining features to celebrate Chanukah:
Jewish Trivia Quiz: Chanukah
What does the Hebrew word Chanukah mean ?
What type of foods do we specificaly eat on Chanukah ?
What activities are forbidden during Chanukah ?
Are woman obligated to light the menorah ?
How many candles do we need for all of Chanukah ?
Which family was Judah the Maccabee from ?
How many branches did the menorah in the temple have ?
The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both
kids and adults will find it enjoyable.
Additional Chanukah resources and games on the J site include: Free
Chanukah Clipart (including New graphics added this week) The
Multilingual Hangman Game (English / Hebrew) The Multilingual Word
Search Game (English / Hebrew / Russian) My Hebrew Songbook (Hebrew Song
Lyrics) My Jewish Coloring Book (online / offline)
The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, I
posted on my website 140 links about Chanukah, from laws and customs to
games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian,
Spanish, French, Portuguese, German and Italian.
All 140 links have been reviewed / checked this week.

Enjoy!
