Saturday, December 20, 2008 Hannukah: A Nonsensical Talmudic Holiday Hannukah is a typical rabbinic charade. It takes the Biblical story of the Maccabees and embroiders it with fantasy. After their victory in 165 B.C., the Jews retook control of the remains of the temple, but it had been defiled. They wanted to rekindle its eternal flame, but they found only one small flask of consecrated oil. According to the Talmud, that small supply, enough for only one day, miraculously lasted for eight, which gave the Jews time to prepare new oil. And which gave the world Hanukkah, meaning "dedication" or "consecration" in Hebrew. There is no oil that lasted eight days in the Biblical text. This story first appeared in the Talmud, which was concocted by rabbis who lived in Babylon after the destruction of the Temple. The nonsensical miracle of the oil hoax has led to the rabbinic custom of eating foods fried in oil for Hanukkah. In the United States, the most popular is latkes, (potato pancakes). The pagan/Babylonian root of Hannukah can be glimpsed in the fact that during Hannukah Talmudic children play a gambling game with a dreidel, a spinning top. Each side has a Hebrew letter. In most places, the letters spell "A Great Miracle Happened There." In San Francisco for several years a huge Hannukah menorah was displayed in Union Square while the square had no Christian Nativity scene. Traditionally in Judaism, Hannukah was a very minor observance. The contemporary emphasis on Hannukah was created as a rival to Christmas observances. *** Hoffman is the author of the underground bestseller, Judaism Discovered: A Study of the Anti-Biblical Religion of Racism, Self-Worship, Superstition and Deceit, now in its second printing, in spite having been banned by http://Amazon.com (the only book about Judaism which has that distinction).

Thanks, I wait a couple of hours before going to the grocer.
I love potato pancakes. Every one I've ever eaten has lasted eight days.
Republicans believe in abortion -- they just wait until they're born and then call them 'collateral damage'.
lol..I was thinking just the opposite...I thought I might hurry down to where I just bet they are having a little display....

I'll ponder that one on my way to the 'festivities' :}

If those of the Jewish faith want to celebrate Hannukah then that is their business. Unfortunately Christmas also has a substantial amount of pagan elements and it has become a day of Santa and gift giving and has lost much of the real meaning why it should be observed.
shit, if you think a burning bush is god, then follow some 'glowing pillar' or whatever through the desert, chances are a flagon of oil is probably god too.

This is just me, but if it weren't for the cookies, grog, the movie Elf, football and presents you could roll up all these holidays and blow them to hell.
It's safe to go shopping in the CenTex - zero beanies spotted this evening, but it's so danged overcast, who knows when is sundown here.
If I could go Rip van Winkle from 20 Nov - 10 Jan, it would be wonderful. What an insane time of the year.
I have my Man Cave, complete with an HDTV with every digital channel known to man, some books, a cell phone, a short-wave radio, my guns, candy and the number to the local pizza parlor written on the wall in crayon. I'm good to go.
Sounds like you've got most all bases covered. I'd add some hooch, seeds, and a generator to keep it all working for ya.
When I eventually make it to CenTx, lets hook up and put a hurting on a bottle of Beefeater's. We'll need some meat and some greens to complete my idea of a lovely meal.
I agree on all points. However, their holiday based on lies should not be allowed to push ours based on the birth of Christ aside in this country founded in Christ's name.
