I'm not celebrating Hanukkah but a Jewish co-worker is. I looked at your profile that says that you are Christian. I've heard of a few Christian groups that are starting to celebrate the Jewish holy days. Can you tell me why? Just curious.  |

I think the celebrating Jewish festivals while Christian comes from the fact that our lord and saviour was Christian himself and it was a staple of belief system till post-Jesus.  |

Actually...I don't really consider myself Christian anymore in the traditional sense of the word. I lean very heavily toward Judaism in my faith.  |

Seeker, I think you mean to say that Jesus was Jewish..not Christian, and yet He was indeed and He celebrated Hanukkah and Passover...all the traditional festivals. |

I became interested in Judiasm because I have encountered so much phoniness in the world of traditional Christianity. And, I have discovered that there is a whole world of things we gentiles are not taught about the Bible. In addition there is a lot of mistranslation and misinterpretation of the Hebrew Bible by the Christian world. |

I'm not Jewish either, but I worked in a Kosher-style deli for 18 years! (That, in part, means that all of the food was kosher, but we used only one slicer for both the meat and the cheese instead of two separate slicers.) I got to learn a lot about the Jewish faith and developed a strong appetite for bagels, lox, cream cheese and even beet borscht with sour cream. (Now I've made myself hungry....) Happy Hannukah!  |
