Happy seventh night of Hanukkah! Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing Saturday with family and friends! Enjoy today's fun fact:

The world's largest menorahs resides in New York City. After competing for years, both the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn light up 32-foot tall beauties every year. Manhattan's came first, standing tall in Central Park since 1973. The Brooklyn one came to be in Park Slope's Grand Army Plaza in 1984. Why didn’t they try to inch each other out and keep going taller? Thirty-two feet is the maximum allowed height for a menorah by Jewish law.

Happy sixth night of Hanukkah! Here's today's fun fact about the holiday:

The word "Hanukkah" comes from the Hebrew word "Hinuch," or "to teach." Jews follow a tradition of incentivizing their children to learn Torah on this holiday by gifting them gelt, or golden-wrapped chocolates that resemble coins. Gelt can also be won in a game of Dreidel!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week of celebrating the Festival of Lights! Today's fun fact from Oh My Stars is:

The famous dreidel, or four-sided spinning top, was invented as a distraction. The Greek-Syrians had outlawed Jewish studies, so the Jews spun dreidels to pretend they were merely playing games while they engaged with their scripture.
