Happy Hanukkah!

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, so for all those who celebrate it, Happy Hanukkah!

For those who don't know about it, the real story of Hanukkah is a lot different from the story that is taught to children. David Brooks of The New York Times writes about the real Hanukkah story . It might surprise you that the real Hanukkah story involved somewhat of a Jewish Civil War. Nevertheless, Hanukkah has a symbolic meaning that many Jews cherish.
