Because of Chanukka

In these times, Christianity clarifies its relationship to Judaism – this is very important. Nothing new can be expected from atheists and Islamists in this regard. Never before has Judaism – and Christianity’s relationship to it – been explained so transparently on the Internet. Internet sites such as http://www.Chabad.org and also from the church side try to clarify and improve the relationship to each other. As a long-time observer, I can see many positive things about the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. It has never been better than today. The synagogues are open to guests and last but not least, it is something very special this year when Hanukkah and Christmas coincide. I recommend getting to grips with Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, and getting in touch with local Jewish communities to celebrate Hanukkah together. Why should this matter? The most important reason is that Hanukkah commemorates the successful resistance to all attempts to ban or destroy the Jewish religion. If the Jewish heroes had not, with the help of God, not won the struggle of a minority against a majority, namely the Greek-Syrian rulers of the Seleucids in the Holy Land, Judaism would have perished at that time forever. This did not happen and the desecrated temple was rededicated. Without Judaism, Christianity would not exist today; for from this Christianity arose. So there are many reasons to celebrate Hanukkah together, and rabbis are more than happy to share a few words about the celebrations. blessings and additional information. Hanukkah begins on a Sunday evening this year, December 18th. Of course, Hanukkah is always scheduled according to the Jewish calendar and is eight days long this year as well; beginning with the 25th Kislew. Time enough to get going!
