you re supposed to do it at sundown. i do it a little after because i get my kids on facetime. but we re going to eat llatkes. you know, the story is really it s a military victory, and they rededicated the temple of jerusalem and the maccabees were the ones who fought this military battle and won, and they went in and a candelabra, there was only enough oil for one day. but it lasted for eight days while they went and got some more oil. so naturally, the jews think how can we incorporate this into our food so we eat latkes, which are potato pancakes fried in oil. we eat oily foods, which is fantastic because there are so many doctors who are jews. and we have, you know it s ridiculous. but we do it. we eat jelly donuts and latkes. they are so fattening, i can t even tell you.
