On Chanukah and the sweet myths we tell ourselves
Just this morning I was chatting with my neighbor about this festival and wondering about the origins of the Driedl! Thisi email is definitely a NES for me!
❤️💯
As I've said before, I think you are such a very good writer!
I knew some of this, but not all — had no idea how recent the tradition of gelt (real, not chocolate) is. Shared with my family.
It's ironic that the holiday celebrating a war against assimilation is today the most assimilated of the Jewish holidays (in the US, at least).
Yasher koach, once again!
Tal, I freaking love it when you write about religion. There's nothing bad about knowing the true origins of our traditions.
Talia, what a delightful, insightful, generous-hearted writer you are!
