    Hanukkah isn’t an important religious holiday, but it is an important cultural one. Partly because it’s adjacent to Christmas (for north american Jews at least) and partly because the story occurred later on in Jewish history compared to much of the Holy texts.

    I don’t know anyone who takes days off work for Hanukkah, most just want to be home for sun down to light the candles.
