>> THIS IS THE CHOCOLATE AND
OIL TOGETHER AND IT'S JUST, I
MEAN, THIS IS AN IDEA.
BUT JUST TO SHOW YOU A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THE HOLIDAY AND WHY
WE PLAY DREIDEL.
ONE OF THE THINGS, 2300 YEARS
AGO, THE GREEKS CONQUERED THE
WORLD AND THE LAND OF ISRAEL
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THEY
WANTED IN ISRAEL, THEY WANTED
THEM TO ASSIMILATE AND THEY
BANNED STUDYING THE TORAH OR
THE JEWISH BIBLE AND MANY OF
THEIR COMMANDMENTS AND ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED WAS
THERE WAS A GROUP OF JEWISH
CHILDREN WHO, THEY WENT TO HIDE
IN THE CAVES, AND WOULD STUDY
THE TORAH THERE BECAUSE THE
CHILDREN WERE THE FUTURE SO
THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
SOMEONE WAS STUDYING AND TO
HIDE FROM THE GREEKS THEY HAD A
TOP AND THEY WOULD HIDE IT AND
PULL IT OUT AND PLAY GAMES AND
PUT AWAY THEIR BOOKS SO
NOWADAYS IN SCHOOL YOU WOULD
PUT AWAY YOUR GAMES AND PULL
OUT YOUR BOOKS AND THIS IS
WHERE THIS GAME COMES FROM AND
NOW THAT WE HAVE OVERCOME THAT
CHALLENGE IN OUR HISTORY, WE
COMMEMORATE THIS THROUGH THE
LIGHTING OF OUR MENORAH AND
EATING THE LATKES AND SPITTING
THE DREIDEL AND -- AND SPINNING
THE DREIDEL AND CELEBRATING
LIFE.
LIFE.
LIFE. HANUKKAH IS ABOUT CELEBRATING
LIGHT OVERCOMING DARK THIS AND
SPREADING LIGHT AND WE HAVE
MORE LIGHT EVERY DAY AND ON THE
THIRD NIGHT, WE ARE CONSTANTLY
ADDING LIGHT IN GOODNESS.
>> WE WOULD LIKE THIS BUT WE
AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE FLAMES
IN THE STUDIO WHICH IS WHY I
BROUGHT THIS SMALL MENORAH.
>> THESE ARE PACKETS WITH
MENORAHS, WE GOT A CALL BUT IF
YOU GIVE US A CALL AT THE LOCAL
CENTER OR AROUND THE WORLD FOR
THAT MATTER, WE WILL SET YOU UP
WITH SOME CANDLES TO CELEBRATE
HANUKKAH YOUR SELF.
>> YOUR OUT OF NORTHEAST
PORTLAND?
PORTLAND?
PORTLAND? >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU HAD THE BETTER SPIN THAN I
DID.
DID.
DID. >>
DID. >> ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE.
>> OH DREIDEL, DREIDEL, DREIDEL
I MADE IT OUT OF CLAY.
AND WHEN IT'S
