Happy Hanukkah, my friends !!! חנוכה שמחה, חברים שלי
Hanukkah First Sundown - 5781/2020
Hanukkah, 25 Kislèv - 3 Tevèt 5779
December 10st - 18th, 2020
Hanukkah, in Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, usually spelled חנוכה, the Festival of Lights or Feast of Dedication, is a Jewish holiday, commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, in 165 BC.
Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.
When the Second Temple in Jerusalem was looted and services stopped, Judaism was outlawed. In 167 BC Antiochus ordered an altar to Zeus erected in the Temple. He banned brit milah (circumcision) and ordered pigs to be sacrificed at the altar of the temple .
Antiochus's actions provoked a large-scale revolt. Mattityahu, a Jewish priest, and his five sons Jochanan, Simeon, Eleazar,Jonathan, and Judah led a rebellion against Antiochus. Judah became known as Yehuda HaMakabi ("Judah the Hammer").
By 166 BC Mattathias had died, and Judah took his place as leader. By 165 BC the Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy was successful. The Temple was liberated and rededicated. The festival of Hanukkah was instituted to celebrate this event.
Judah ordered the Temple to be cleansed, a new altar to be built in place of the polluted one and new holy vessels to be made. According to the Talmud, unadulterated and undefiled pure olive oil, with the seal of the kohen gadol (high priest), was needed for the menorah in the Temple, which was required to burn throughout the night every night.
The story goes that one flask was found with only enough oil to burn for one day, yet it burned for eight days, the time needed to prepare a fresh supply of kosher oil for the menorah. An eight-day festival was declared by the Jewish sages to commemorate this miracle.
Nowadays, the Festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched menorah called hanukkiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical menorah consists of eight branches with an additional visually distinct branch. The extra light, with which the others are lit, is called "shamash" (Hebrew: שמש, "attendant") and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest.

This photo is actually from 2009 and I never really did anything with it until now. For many different publications, I was always asked to take a ton of crowd photos and I resented it. Ironically, these are some of the photos I love the most now.
The thing about this photo in particular is that it was taken 7 years ago, which has left me wondering...what happened to this girl. So much can change besides hair color in a person's life. This is just a single and perhaps fractured moment of time for this person. I will know her forever as the really awesome looking girl who seemed a little confused momentarily but completely punk rock. I will probably always wonder what happened to her. But, perhaps, I will run into her this weekend. If you are you, say hello if you see me.,,
If you're going to the fest, I also did a preview for recommendations of bands to see here: www.thelineofbestfit.com/news/latest-news/pitchfork-music...

Standing high, there are two statues on stilts at the rear of what used to be the Town Hall, a bull and a lion.
I couldn't find any reference to the meaning of the sculptures.
