Eight Days Of Chanukah ...

Driving home from work the other night listening to drive time talk radio. A rabbi is the guest on the show and he will light the menorah in the studio after sunset. Radio host, not Jewish, asks the rabbi about the meaning of Chanukah. The rabbi responds that Chanukah has the same traditional theme as the other major Jewish holy days: "Someone tries to kill all the Jews. They survive. They sit down. They eat." That's the Old Testament in an nutshell.
