Time to repost this gem I created a few years back. Takes a latke riot just to get me outta bed.

Auggie playing with his/our ball launcher. Soft balls he can carry around are his faves. (It was a joint cat/human gift. I'm easily amused...)

Our favorite family tradition is Catnukah. Each night of #Chanukah we light the candles, feed the cats a treat, and then give them a present. And the cats LOVE it.
This year on the first night Auggie meowed happily as soon as I started setting up the menorah. He remembered!
All of them gather to watch us light. But of course the treats and toys are their highlight.

I celebrate #Chanukah for its 2191 year old struggle for religious freedom and our people's long fight against despots and tyrants.
We teach children that long ago and far away we resisted occupiers. We fought to pray, to speak, to eat and live as our people chose, not as the Seleucid governor dictated. Families died to keep kosher. Families took up arms and invented guerilla tactics that defeated local remnants of Alexander the Great's empire. #Maccabees #humanrights #civilrights

Everywhere I turn, it's Christmas lights, wreaths, and Santa hats galore.

It’s beautiful, no doubt — but as someone who celebrates Hanukkah, I can’t help but feel a little outnumbered.
And then it happened!
I spotted a menorah tucked in among the candy canes.
It was like stumbling upon a hidden treasure in the middle of a Christmas wonderland.
Not long after, I saw a dreidel nestled on a store shelf, quietly holding its own between shiny red ornaments and gingerbread men.
It felt like these little pieces of Hanukkah were winking at me, reminding me that our light shines even in unexpected places.
It’s funny how something so small can feel like a warm hug from home when you're not expecting it.
It made me pause, smile, and think: even in a world of Christmas glitter, there’s always room for a little Hanukkah magic.

For the eighth and final night of #Hanukkah I recorded a solo piano version of my own "Hanukkah Light," which I shared on Tunes On Tuesday last week. Thanks again for celebrating the Festival of Lights in song with me this year! Merry #Christmas and best wishes for a happy and light-filled new year. #chanukah #hanuka #חנוכה #holidaysongs #holidaymusic #hanukkahmusic #jazz #jazzmusic #eightdays #eightnights #eightcandles #eighthcandle #נרשמיני #hanukkahlight #solopiano #jazzpiano

Let’s talk about the #Maccabees.…
I love #Chanukah as much as the next Jew, but I struggle with the Maccabees as a role models. If you look in the book of Maccabees (written by their own followers), it’s clear that they were zealots and they weren’t afraid to kill in order to try to stem what they perceived as some #Jews’ lack of commitment to #Jewish practice.But if we look at that period in history, it’s not clear at all that those other Jews weren’t committed to Jewish practice. 1/

Let's not forget that we celebrate the miracle of the lights, not the battle. The #Maccabees are heroes for defending against a despotic regime and cultural erasure, but we don't celebrate violence. We celebrate Miracles and we celebrate survival!
