Gotta do something with all that oil...
Out of curiosity, what part of scripture is that from? I'd like to look it up.
Our kids pediatrician is a very devout Jew, a lovely man. But I never feel right asking him, it seems too personal to talk about this sort of thing during a medical consult. Our pain specialist is also Jewish. Works at a very Roman Catholic hospice, he's their rock. We wish them both a merry Christmas but would love to make it more relevant to them. In Australia we avoid "happy holidays" because anything too obviously easy child is rejected here. Instead, we try to make things as specific and relevant to the individual as possible, rather than generically general.
My GP is Egyptian Copt, very devout. Religious tracts subtly placed in the waiting room under the usual year-old magazines; icons in a corner of the surgery. Their Easter is more in line with Passover, time-wise, than the usual Christian Easter. So I always double-check when their Easter is, so I can wish them a happy Easter at the correct time of year. We do understand about Passover, but other festivals don't always match up so easily.
If the main aim (after the relgious observances of course) of Channukah is to clog your arteries, then Tim Tams should meet the requirements. And if you're anywhere near Texas, where they seem to deep-fry everything, you could try a deep-fried Tim Tam. I think it would work brilliantly. However, I'll pass. I think my cholesterol level just doubled, thinking about it!
