Happy Hanukah!
Or for the Romanized version, Happy Chanukah! For many Jewish singles, whether you are actively practicing the religious life of a Jew, still, your ethnic identity as being Jewish is strong. Even the atheists with a Jewish heritage often want to embrace the ethnic identity trappings of Jewish heritage and life.
So Hanukah is important to you. Even if it is not as a religious observation. Many modern Jewish singles crave celebrating the major holidays of Judaism to express their uniqueness as part of their Jewish identity and heritage.
So why are you making potato pancakes at home alone?
So many of the wonderful Jewish holidays and traditions center around family and certainly extended family. While this time of year is a major holiday for Christians, Hanukah, of course, while a significant holiday, is no where nearly as close to the Jewish high holy days of Passover, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur. Still, Hanukah is important. It is an opportunity for your family to come together, traditionally to light the candles of the Menorah, grate potatoes together, and make potato latkes. Oh, where is the sour cream! OK, as a member of the goyim, I DO enjoy the traditional family time celebration of this holiday!
And that is the very point.
Often Hanukah is celebrated with your family. And yet, not only your family. Because of the time of year, often there are friends from high school joining you, a new college chum who is miles from their own home, so you invite them to yours for this weekend family get together. And when we are older, there are always a few friends, from work, from the charity group we work with, the literacy group we volunteer with at the library, our hiking group. There are always a few fresh new additions.
So, if you are single, certainly, do make that extra effort to get home to your own family’s table and share the celebration. Meanwhile, keep your eyes and ears open for celebrations amongst your friends that you could join right where you are. While you’re at it, who are the one or two additional people you could invite to join you? Keep your social circle warm hearted and always incorporating a few new people. That’s how you meet new people in person for more dates and eventually marriage!
Happy Dating and Relationships,

May 2, 2011 at 7:47 AMHere in the Northeast there is a lot more social mixing and the sharing of religious cultures casually like this. I don’t see it a lot past Chicago. Why do you think that is April? Secular Humanism? Have people forgotten their cultural roots?
