Here are some beautiful Chanukah wishes from UJA Federation of Greater Toronto.
The children of Toronto's Associated Hebrew Schools Posluns Education Centre were asked a timely and simple question: "What do you think about on Chanukah?"
The answers? We're sure they'll make you smile.
Here are some of our favorites:
"Sometimes I don't like the draydel game because my brother takes away all the chocolates."
"The good guys -- a lot of Maccabees -- they're like the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Greeks are the bad guys like the Montreal Canadiens."
"Antiochus gave the Jews a time out. They couldn't pray, they couldn't watch TV, and the Jews said 'I don't want time outs anymore.'"
"The Maccabees are the heroes of the holiday, just like Batman."
"I think Judah Maccabee looks like Justin Bieber."
"You just take a little bit of brown stuff and then you smush it up and put it in a circle and then you put it in the oven and when it's ready you can take it out and it looks like a latke."
Enjoy!

Just wonderful,reminds me of my childhood. I hope the Jewish children who love the holiday realize Christmas is fun lights and song and the belief a Jewish child who celebrated Chanukah,Passover and all the other wonderful Jewish Holidays,is their G-d. This holiday is the reason we have surived. Because our willingness to follow in the foot steps of those who made us strong in our beliefs, on the memories of heros who fought to remember we are Jews, not Christians
