For 2019, Hanukkah began on sunset on Sunday, December 22nd and will send this Monday, December 30th.
Let's start off with a song, my favorite song about Hanukkah. And no, it's NOT that irritating overplayed thing by Adam Sandler. This tune was written and composed by the great Tom Leher. Below is a performance by Mr. Leher himself.
I'm Spending Hanukkah In Santa Monica! I really gets in your head, doesn't it?
Next up from DC's 2009 Holiday Special is a Hanukkah themed story starring Superman himself.
The creators of Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were both Jewish.
I think it's time for another musical celebration of Hanukkah!
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you....
THE GAY MEN'S CHORUS OF LOS ANGELES!!!!!
It really is in your head now, isn't it?
It's time for another comic book story, this one featuring a little know DC character called Ragman.
And that's my Hanukkah post. Sometimes Hanukkah is simply looked upon as Jewish Christmas and it is so much more than that. But like Christmas, Hanukkah also represents the ideal of light triumphing over darkness as well as the peace, love and joy of families and friends coming together. Which is an ideal we can all get behind.
So Happy Hanukkah!
And a special shout out to those who celebrate....
"Hanukkah! In Santa Monica! Wearing sandals lighting candles by the sea!"
It really gets in your head!
