A good family friend, Nola Moss, who has served as the tour guide for many of our family's trips to Israel, invited me to spend the first night of Chanukah with her family.  It was my first Chanukah experience in Israel.  It was filled with Zeviv'nim (Dreidels), Candle-light, laughter, music - and of course - lots of fried food.  Chanukah is the celebration of the victory of the Jews over the Greek invaders when they were trying to desecrate the Holy Temple.  They only had enough oil for 1 night, but a miracle happened... the oil lasted 8 nights!  Well - we celebrate by eating oily things.  Yum!  Latka's, Sufganiot, Fried Apples... You name it!  It was there!
