Anonymous Coward User ID: 29093017 United Kingdom 12/08/2012 11:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it must be noted particularly by the religious that the Roman Catholic Church celebrates The Immaculate Conception, from wikipedia: The Feast of the Immaculate Conception celebrates belief in the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is universally celebrated on December 8, nine months before the feast of the Nativity of Mary, which is celebrated on September 8. It is the patronal feast day of Spain, Korea, Portugal, Nicaragua, Brazil, the Philippines and the United States of America. It is celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church as well as a few other closely related Christian churches. The feast is often celebrated with Holy Mass, parades, fireworks, processions, ethnic foods, and cultural festivities in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and is generally considered a "family day", especially in many Catholic countries. Is it about time we saw the obvious link between religions and perhaps realise that they are all controlled by one power. (the vatican) Religion has divided humanity and its human leadership has abused their positions of power in many ways... let us not forget. Once free of the bonds of religious doctrine, a human can begin their true relationship with God, Our Creator and Source. |

I traced my genetic roots to a Jewish woman who lived in Russia in the 1700's. On my late 1st husbands side, his grandfather was a Polish Jew. So my kids have the heritage from both sides. Mozel Tov !!! ummm...how can you trace yourself to a women from the 1700's...pleeaassseee teach me where should i go to do that test? I suggest having a genetic test to find out your roots, and then take it from there. The company I went through will do genetic matches for you. It helps a lot when you are tracing your heritage. Praise God from Whom all Blessings flow !!! |

Shamash User ID: 29341049 Israel 12/08/2012 11:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is Chanukah all about? Our Sages taught: On the 25th day of Kislev begin the eight days of Chanukah; one may not mourn or fast on these days. [The holiday was instituted because] when the Greeks entered the Holy Temple they defiled all of the oil reserves of the Temple. When the Hasmonean kings overpowered them and conquered them, they found but one jar of oil that remained sealed with the mark of the High Priest (denoting that it was not defiled), which contained enough oil to light the Menorah (golden candelabra) of the Temple for but one night. Miraculously, the oil sufficed to light the Menorah for a full eight days. The following year, the Sages accorded these days permanent holiday status, during which we praise Hashem with the "Hallel" prayer and thank Him [through reciting the "Al ha'Nisim" prayer -Rashi] (Gemara, Shabbos 21b) [link to www.dafyomi.co.il] |

So I celebrate both Christian and Jewish holidays ! Yes, but you are not a christian. The Jews pray for the messiah to come. To celebrate with Jews means denying Christ. Since the Messiah already came. You are denying Christ by ackwoledging the rightfullness of the jewish holidays. Oh will you go blow off? How does observing another's holiday practice deny the Christ? I guess you didn't pay very much attention to how Christ lived. He went to the people that needed him, not those that didn't. The only way to god is through Jesus Christ. To encourage the Jews in their behaviour is not christian and is leading the Jews away from God. |

Quoting: APOLLYON ELNATHAN We are advised to look for Moshiach in every event.. QOUTE: Since the Chanuka miracle took place in the Holy Temple, its commemoration arouses an even greater yearning for the era when the menora will be kindled again in the Third Holy Temple. Let us all join together on Chanuka this year in the lighting of the Chanuka menoras, large and small, public and private. And as we light the menora let us envision ourselves watching the lighting of the rededicated menora in the Third and Eternal Holy Temple. The Baal Shem Tov taught, "In the place where a person wants to be, that is where he will be found." May we all be found together in the Holy Temple this Chanuka. You surprise me I did not think you would be "on board" I just do not "get you"...lol! |

And you get variant spellings because the "real" spelling does not use English letters at all. The matter is made worse in this case because the first letter of Chanukah is a "Chet." It is a sound that many people who have no experience with either Hebrew or Arabic find hard or impossible to pronounce. They often mis-speak it as an "H" sound. But I don't think how it's spelled really matters at all IMHO ! It's the holiday that matters, the festival of lights ! |
