Note: This episode was recorded and released 12th December before the horrors at Bondi. We are grieving, shocked and angry - there is far too much violence in this world. May we all work together towards a world where everyone can live in safety and dignity. Episode 10 // Season 6 חנוכּה How has it taken this long for us to have a Khanike/Chanukah/Hannukah episode?? Well here it is and just in time. I talk a little about where some of the customs of Chanukah might have come from, the story and how we celebrate it in my family.
