To everyone of the Jewish faith, including my family and myself, Happy Hanukkah, the festival of lights.
For those who would like some background, Hanukkah is a minor holiday and can be spelled 743 different ways. It stretches eight nights (and starts at sundown tonight). The time period changes every year (the Hebrew calendar is based on three events, including the moon) and we do light candles using theChamush shamash from right to left.

Again, Happy Hanukkah!
