Rob and I have the good fortune of meeting people with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and religions while living in Greece. Our Jewish friends held a Hanukkah party at Loring Hall tonight to teach us about the traditions and history of their religion.
Hanukkah has a complex history but generally it commorates the victory of the Jewish people and rededication of the Holy Temple in Jeruslem in the 2nd century BCE. Tonight we lit several Menorah and had traditional Hanukkah foods (foods fried or baked in oil) including latkes and doughnuts.
