Tonight is the first night of Chanukah (or Hanukkah the transliteration is not fixed either way), celebrating the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks.
Yet another example of the standard in Jewish holidays:
1. They tried to kill us; 2. The Lord delivered us; 3. We won; and 4. Let's eat.
So we lit the Hanukkiah, said the prayers, and made latkas, which were tasty and awesome as always.
May you have a very Happy Chanukah!
