This week, Chanukah!
It is traditional on Chanukah to eat foods that encorporate oil to recall the miracle of the oil lasting for 8 days. To that end, I've made 3 side dishes that involve oil (two of which use olive oil). There will also be latkes. Though, because it's a meat meal, there won't be sour cream.
Chag ha Chanukah sameach and Shabbat shalom!
Y'mei ha-Chanukah, Chanukat mikdasheynu
B'gil u'v'simcha m'malim et libeynu
Laila v'yom s'vivoneynu yisov
Sufganiot (note from NSB -- some say "levivot") nochal bam larov
Heiru hadliku nerot Chanukah rabim
Al hanism v'al hanifla-ot asher chol'lu haMakabim.
The days of Chanukah, the dedication of our Mikdash (Temple)
With joy and happiness we fill our hearts
Day and night, we'll spin our sevivonot (dreidels)
Jelly doughnuts (some say "potato pancakes"), we'll eat many of them.
Shine, light the many Chanukah candles
For the miracles and the wonders that the Maccabees perpetrated.
