Israel is one of the many countries in the Middle East. It has a third of the world’s Jewish population living there. To be Jewish, the Judaism religion has to be passed through the mother to child, not from the father to child. In other words, your mother has to be Jewish for you to be Jewish. One of the holidays that Jews celebrate is Hanukkah, which I’m sure you guys know. Hanukkah is celebrated on eight different days every year. This year, Hanukkah is being celebrated on December 16th through December 24th. Starting on the first night of Hanukkah, you light the first candle on your menorah. A menorah is a special nine-branched candelabrum, and if you don’t know what a candelabrum is, here’s the definition- a large branched candlestick or holder for several candles. Each night of Hanukkah, an additional candle is placed in the Menorah from right to left, and then lit from left to right. Every time a candle is lit, you get an expensive present or money. On the last night, all the candles will be lit. Hanukkah sounds like a really fun and interesting holiday! Do you know of any fun or interesting holidays?
Nice job Eliza I really like that you included Adam Sandler he is awesome. One thing did you know that Hanukkah is actually spelled Chanukah in jewish language. Also the time of the discovery of the holiday was 138 BCE. The fact that you included Adam Sandler is a cool fun thing that is probably not frequently written. Do you enjoy Adams song?
Eliza, Judaism sounds like a really fun religion, I loved Adam’s song. I think that Jews are really lucky to have nine days of presents instead of just one! I googled more about Judaism and found out that just like Pastors talk about Christian religion in church, Rabbis also lead conversation in Jewish synagogues about things that have been agreed upon by numerous amounts of Jewish scholars over centuries! I like how the Rabbis talk about the past and still acknowledge the present.

ReplyDeleteI did enjoy Adam Sandler's song. I thought it was very funny and clever, just like his personality when he's acting.
