How to celebrate Hanukah?? ?
Favorite Answer:If you're worried about doing something wrong or being guilty of a fopaux...or doing something harmless but very awkward...or whatever here's something you can do:
If you're not Jewish then you're not expected to even care when Hanukkah is, so if you look up the date when it begins and wish a Jewish person Happy Hanukkah it shows you care about them. They'll know you're not Jewish and had to look it up. It's a way to say "Hey, I care about ya, I just don't want to get your traditions wrong and offend...because I care about you." Or you could get them a card or something. But if you're really 100% unsure...without researching it to deeply...saying happy Hanukkah and/or giving a card says a lot in and of itself. I'm Jewish, so I know. A lot of Jewish people will be surprised (in a good way) that you even know the dates of the holiday...you now, would brighten their day.
Sure, doing more says more, but only if you get it right and don't assume that all Jews give or get pen/pencil sets or khaki slacks or whatever, and don't by someone a dreidel unless they ask for it. Jews should know the customs surrounding these and when it's appropriate to do them. Unless you get it 100% right, you might offend someone.

Is it a Jewish tradition to spent Christmas Day in a Chinese Restaurant?
Favorite Answer:Not officially.
Orthodox Jews are not going to eat in any restaurant that isn't strictly kosher.
It's just that Chinese restaurants are typically open on Christmas, but aren't serving fancy Christmas meals.
My father spent the day working in the pharmacy he owned. When I was old enough, I'd help him out. We would close earlier than usual (about 3 pm) and my mom would cook dinner at home.

do you make your whole life just about JESUS?
Favorite Answer:Not always, no. It is true that he is to be on our minds at all times, but for man, that's just impossible. The worldly things that we are busy with gives us many limitations from our free time, one of which is prayer. Unless you are aiming for sainthood, it's impossible in the world we live in to make ALL our lives about Jesus. Thankfully, our task is to make it about him as much as we can, so something relative to the person, not something absolute.
