Walking the Camino, we often lose the track of the day or the week. This is a reminder for all our Jewish Brethren that our Hanuka Holiday, falls on the 25th of December .
You may have a hard time finding a potato pancake but a croqueta with a glass of wine will do perfect
Hanuka Sameach!

As a member of the tribe. I always knew there were different spelling for Hanukkah. Growing up in New York you see alot of different spellings. I see you are from Jerusalem. I have never seen it spelled Hanuka. Is that how it is spelled in English in Israel?
Also I started doing some research and saw this story. You might find it fun. (I had completely forgotten the Chanukah spelling which was used alot when I was a kid but never see it anymore)

Happy Hanukkah to you too!

And a Happy Hanuka (I love it that there are so many ways to spell this holiday)!

It’s unlikely that you would have to remind many Christians that Christmas Day falls on December 25 so I’ll display my ignorance and ask - is Hanukkah a moveable feast?

Whatever, I’m pleased to wish any and all a Happy Hanukkah; whenever it may be.

Yes and no. It starts on the same day each year according to the Hebrew calendar. But the Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian calendar are calculated differently and so it is movable within about a month according to the Gregorian calendar.

Let me start off by saying that I have done 10 Caminos. This is not to brag but to say that I should have known better. Before my last one, my grandkids convinced me that I should document the...

I've always wondered about the security bars you frequently see on the windows of homes in Spain. The obvious purpose is security, but they are so ubiquitous, including on the windows of houses in...

I got back from my first Camino earlier this year in September. I loved it, found a lot of joy and strength from the experience. But I didn't really think that I would do it again. It was a...
