Thanks for the link, Meir!
Yes, I was trying to say it's not only Christians that have a celebration this time of year and Jewish people do charitable things too. In fact, it's a mitzvah to do it all year round, not just once a year.

<<> very profound siiiiiigggggggghhhhhhhhh>
If you believe that jews need
A season like............ANYTHING other than the intense and beautiful
holiday of
(Chanukas ha bayis-- the dedication of the temple in
israel......................................................
Then you have no idea what chanukah is all about.
====================================
Money is given out during chanukah
To promote tzadaka very loosely termed charity in english
To care about your neighbor.......
But"tzadaka" comes from the root word "Tzedek" justice
Faar more enduring than " presents" o or what have you.
I apologize to the list
Not to overdo it
Except this thread has stuck a chord with me
Jews wake up
BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES.
