Happy Hannukah!

Hanukkah (Hebrew: חנוכה‎, IPA: ['χanuka], alt. Chanukah), also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, and may occur from late November to late December on the Gregorian calendar. I think that in 2008 that is today.

So to all Moonies who follow the Jewish faith I wish you A Happy Hannukah.

For anyone who wants to know more about this special time in the Jewish calendar here is a Wikipedia link. It's interesting, I think.
