I read your posts & had an idea. I'm reading this book called 'The Seven Festivals of the Messiah', by Edward Chumney. It talk's about the Jewish festivals & what they mean & how they tie in w/ Jesus' life. IT'S AMAZING!! Maybe your Christian family would be interested in reading it. I'm a Christian & am blown away by learning about your beliefs & traditions, it opened up a whole other world for me. It's wonderful learning about your traditions. I'm sorry to hear you had to celebrate your daughters first Chanakah in a bedroom. I hope this doesn't upset or offend you, I apologize if it does. I'm just trying to help. You can email me a private messag if you'd like.
