Tonight, of course, is the first night of Hanukkah. Coincidentally, it also happens to be the first night of Chanukah. As you may know, this winter festival commemorates a military victory of the Jews over the Greek king Antiochus and the miracle of one day’s worth of oil that burned for eight days. In celebration, we teach our children how to gamble with chocolate coins. So spin the latkes, light your dreidls, douse your menorahs in sour cream and applesauce, and have fun!
