Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday, but what's it all about? And why do some people think of it as "Jewish Christmas"? In this episode, Josh and Chuck share Stuff You Should Know about Hanukkah.
Josh and Chuck dive into the real story behind Hanukkah, revealing why it's not actually "Jewish Christmas" as many Americans assume. They explore the fascinating historical origins of the eight-night Festival of Lights, from the Jewish rebellion against Syrian king Antiochus IV in 167 BC to the miraculous oil that burned for eight days during the rededication of the Jerusalem temple. Along the way, they cover all the traditions you'd expect - lighting the menorah, spinning the dreidel, and eating delicious oil-fried foods like latkes and jelly donuts.
