This is supposed to be a secular meaningless holiday season.

How dare you, sir.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for they will see God.

Under the shadow of thy wings, Jehovah.

A little light in the window brings cheer to the heart.

Happy Chanukah.

Please tell us the secrets of the torah.


Is anyone else trying to figure out the two people in the window?

Chanukah commemorates the Jewish victory over the Greek occupation of Israel 2300 years ago. So it's all about freedom and the right to self determination. It's a very good day, a day of hope. Unfortunately- then came the Romans and then the diaspora followed by a whole series of really shitty events... Yikes.

The greatest of all rabs, Hillel, was asked that same question. His answer: "The message of Torah is this: What is hateful to you do not to others. All the rest is simply commentary on that."

As in every religion. Nice.

I hear all this fuss about the secrets of physics being imbedded in the scripture. Care to comment?
