#chanukka

Our days are sunset to sunset. An erev [holiday] is not the night before the first day of a holiday, but rather the *start* of the first day, which ends at the next sunset.

So the eighth night is the start of the eighth day, which ends at sunset the *next* day.

The last night of Chanukah - December 21st this year on the secular calendar - is the start of the last day of Chanukah, which ends at sunset on December 22 on the secular calendar.

2:1 ratio of potato to eggs, use as many potatoes as you think you need to feed your people (four large Idaho potatoes will most likely feed two to three people. If you’re making it for yourself, use two Idaho potatoes)

put a large frying pan on the stove on medium heat, and pour in enough oil to fill the entire thing, let it heat through

Use a spoon and make little pancakes on the frying pan with the latke mixture, they should start sizzling. It should take about 4-5 minutes on each side. They should look nice and brown after that. Transfer to a plate with a paper towel or napkin to catch the excess oil. Enjoy!!

Augenzeugenberichte schildern, wie sich Menschen in nahegelegene Häuser retteten und dort versteckten, nachdem sie die Waffen gesehen hatten. Schaut man sich den Munitionsgürtel an: Diese Typen wollten…

They are all so beautiful, so gorgeous. There are so many different ones, simple ones, elaborate ones, novelty ones, so artful, so much craftsmanship, some that include a Magen David, so many different materials used to create them.

I see the candles and the candle light and it is so beautiful.

I see pictures of them standing in windows and it is so gorgeous.
