Anchorage has had outside celebrations the past few years and the rabbi said this year was they coldest one-- -7 F. (-21.6 C.) Happy holiday, @Steve North !
Today, Sunday, is the last day of Chanukah.. Tonight we light the 8th candle.. If you have noticed, the holiday of Chanukah actually has 2 different ways of spelling it.. It is spelled..... Chanukah......... or....... Hanukkah... The reason for this is to have 8 letters in the spelling representing the 8 days of the festival of lights.. What they did is double the letter K to make the 8 letters.. Either spelling is correct..
