Ridgewood NJ, celebrating the first night of Hanukkah in Van Neste Square .
Hanukkah is celebrated, in part, by the lighting of a menorah each night. Doing so represents the eight nights a small supply of oil miraculously lasted for a small group of Jewish people in 165 B.C. fighting to defeat the Greek army.
Hanukkah, the annual Jewish Festival of Lights.
Celebrants also often mark the occasion by eating fried foods like latkes, playing children’s games, including the dreidel, and exchanging gifts.
Was Josh Gottheimer there?
Not a political event.
You mean the first night of Holiday..
Honest question: those who celebrate Hannukah, do they support the term Christmas or simply Holidays?
Don’t be a shmeckel. Just chill with the antisemitism for like a minute please.
Just chill with the Anti-Catholic Hatred.
Why can’t people just be able to celebrate their holidays/beliefs without stupid ignorant comments?
…because the media, schools and government are hellbent on wiping out certain religions and holidays.
