I have written to some of my Jewish friends to wish them a Happy Hanukkah. For those interested in the true history of the holiday, here it is: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/08/op...me&ref=general

I am not so sure that Challah bread is the choice for celebrating this holiday. For those unfamiliar with Challah - it is a yellow bread that is slightly sweet. Because the holiday involves the miraculous burning of an oil candle for 8 days, the tradition food for the holiday involves foods cooked in oil, e.g., potato latkes.

FYI, my Jewish friends do not consider Hanukkah to be one of the major Jewish holidays. However, I am sure that they celebrate it.
