In my inbox today, felt like sharing.
Happy Chanukah!
To: MeanWestTexan
I wonder. Did Jesus celebrate Chanukah as a child?............

Maybe the mods can fix the title.
I read it as “Your Complete Hunk Guide”. I’m a little disappointed. ;-p

Given that, by all accounts on both sides of the issue, he was raised an observant Jew, the answer to that is “yes.”
Go eat french fries (and donuts) tomorrow in celebration!

Are we now afraid to type the name “GOD”? Why “G-d”?

He was called "Epiphanes," meaning "the gods’ beloved."From what I've read, "Epiphanes" means "god manifest" -- i.e. god in the flesh -- which would have been much more of an abomination to faithful Jews than "the gods' beloved" would.
Thanks for sharing!
To: RC2
That is normal practice when you see Jewish writings. It comes from the tradition that the name of God must never be destroyed, and thus, they do not write his name so it cannot be destroyed. It isn’t an insult or fear, it is more a statement of respect.

Chabad is an Orthodox organization (of which I was formerly an active member).
It is a mitzvah to not destroy or defile the name of God, ergo it is not written out unnecessarily (especially on paper), as that may cause an accidental (or facillitate and intentional) violation of the command.

Of course, at the time, it was known as the Feast of Dedication.

Anything fried in oil will work, really.
We always had fried chicken or fried steaks, but we also happened to be Texans, as well as Jewish.

We are lighting a menorah during Chanukah, too. We are not Jewish but my husband’s step-mother is and we would like our children to honor and respect her religious beliefs in addition to our Catholic beliefs. She decorates a Christmas tree with Jewish ornaments in addition to the traditional trimmings AND gives out the most fantastic Christmas gifts. It’s really a fun time of year for all of us. As we say on that side of the family, Merry Christmakkuh!!!

Why were you looking for a complete hunk guide? Let me help out here.
Just because your not hungry, doesn't mean you can't read the menu.
I hope that keeps someone out of the dog house. ;P

Unless Austin moved to West Texas, I think not.

A detailed reading of the Holy Scriptures(Luke 1) leads one to
understand that Yah'shua was conceived on Chanukah
(where the Light of the World entered our time and space)
and was born on Sukkot, where He tabernacled among us.
shalom b'Shem Yah'shua
