Celebrating Hanukkah for only a few nights

[Anonymous]

When is the last night of Hanukkah this year? Sunday? Monday? I’ve read conflicting things.

Tonight is the last night.

We are 1 night behind because we were out one night. We will either double light tonight or catch up tomorrow. The last night is beautiful.

I don't understand
You have and are assimilated

exactly. Jewish people and the persecution complex is exhausting.

My experience with many jewish people is that judaism isn't even important to them. I'm not surprised Op can't muster up the energy and care to light the candles. It isn't important to him. Frankly, I don't blame him because there is no proof any of these events in all religions even happened. LOL

Yup, we Jews have a real persecution complex, so weird -- where would we ever have even gotten the idea that we've been persecuted?

Yeah, my kids love Halloween and I don't care if someone says Merry Christmas to me. My main persecution-related complaints involve things like the metal detectors that have been required to enter my synagogue ever since someone murdered 11 people in Pittsburgh just for being Jewish (and of course, it's not like persecution of Jews is a brand-new phenomenon, either).
