Caryn.com Hanukkah-Chanukah
The Cool Jewish
December Holiday That Lasts For Over a Week
Welcome to
A Caryn.com Hanukkah, a virtual Festival of Light. This Hanukkah
site will bring you
information to learn about how
to celebrate Hanukkah and light the menorah, Hanukkah songs to sing. and
recipes for Hanukkah latkes to eat. To answer the most popular question
I get emailed every year: There is
absolutely
NO difference between Hanukkah, Hannukah,
Hanukah, Hanukah, Chanuka or Chanukah!
The reason there are so many spellings is that Hanukkah is an english
transliteration of a word in another
language (Hebrew) and there just is no letter in English for the Hebrew sound
that starts Hanukkah!
So some people approximate that with a"ch"
and others do it with an "h". Why two k's or two n's? Creative
preference, I suppose, because there is no universally agreed upon wrong
or right answer. Hope that helps
the Confused out there...and
remember...there are no stupid questions when you are trying to learn about
a culture that is different from your own! It is only through understanding
each other that we have any
hope for peace throughout this great world of ours, and only through our individual
quests to know and
respect others that we can help the world move just a little bit farther in
that general direction.
