Hanukkah – 5th Candle

Tonight, we ponder the real reason for Hanukkah – The Maccabees retaking the The Temple, the oil miracle, etc.

Then, we had LATKES!

Why do we eat latkes?  Because they’re cooked in oil, and Hanukkah is partly about one day worth of oil lasting eight nights.  The oil was needed for eight nights in order to purify the temple.  This is also why we eat donuts.

Enjoy the pics.
