Chanukah!

I removed the Christian holidays you placed because the question was about Jewish holidays and added more Jewish holidays to the list.

Yom HaAtzmaut is a religious holiday? Are you sure?

Simchat Torah! (not listed)  Both because I love Hakafot, and because it's my Yom Huledet.

The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot). I was originally going to vote for Chanukah, but it has been so commercialized in America.

I like Chanukah. I enjoy the holiday spirit, the lighting of the candles, the latkes, and most of all, the parties with friends and families. But I must point out, you committed a common mistake by omitting Shabbos among the list of Jewish holidays :)

Great point. Shabb-t is actually more important than Yom Kippur.

Yes. It is a day to thank G-d for The State. It includes Hallel and in Israel Torah reading as well.



It is NOT a day to thank God for the state.

It is a day to thank God for saving us from The Arabs who tried to annihilate us.

The State is irrelevant to the Hag.

I, of course voted for Sukkoth.

It is by far the funnest of all the Hagim.

Oh come on!  Pesach man! That's when Gd shows Himself to the first Israelite nation..the first time we got liberated!

T'sha B'Av Temple coming again...what kind of holiday is that? We're supposed to be sad that day and hope for the future for modern times..doesn't count in my book.  ::)
