All the Christmas polls are lovely, but I’d like to take a moment to wish my fellow tribe members a very happy Chanukah! :)

Chanukah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Greek-Syrian army in the 2nd century BC, who had banned Jewish rituals and defiled the first temple. After the Temple was rededicated, a miracle occurred: a small jar of oil that should have lasted only one day burned for eight days in the Temple's menorah — which is why we light eight candles during the holiday. Were you aware of this piece of history/meaning behind the holiday? Yes

We definitely fall short when it comes to Chanukah movies, haha, though there are a few that acknowledge the holiday. Which of these Chanukah-ish movies have you seen? Eight Crazy Nights
