With Hanukkah beginning tomorrow evening, I was wondering if you might have anything to say for the start of the holiday?

boykeats:

us christians have a gross tendency to paint hanukkah as a kind of jewish knock-off christmas just because they happen relatively close to each other. but ultimately hanukkah is its own distinct holiday celebrating jewish resistance and survival in the face of injustice. in today’s terrifying anti-semitic political climate, jewish resistance and survival is more vital than ever, and we gentiles should be bringing our support in full measure. anyway, this is all to say i hope my jewish followers have a hanukkah brimming with love and kindness, because you deserve that
