Well it's the second day of Chanuka. I found my menorah and got my candles at Harris Teeter yesterday. Do you know what a choice you now have for Chanuka candles. It's amazing. I wanted to be a purist so I started searching for memorahs that one could fill with olive oil. I searched and searched but found that I couldn't get them locally and if I wanted them they would have to be ordered long in advance. I did find a website that had the most beautiful copies of ancient memorahs with vials filled with olive oil and precut wicks that burned for approximately 3 hours. Someone is on the ball. Now I just have to remember where the site is and tell everyone about it because it's very cool. Here's the site, http://www.milechai.com/judaica/menorahs.htmlI took this picture of my menorah in my window because the background reflected the Christmas lights at night which I thought was a beautiful illustration that Christ came first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles, now to everyone. Happy Chanuka. Imagine the reflecting lights they're there but you can't see them.
