Happy holy days




Since I grew up with so many Jewish friends and neighbors, one of my favorite classes at BYU was one about how Judaism relates to Christianity.

(Every fall, some kids set up a sukkot in the SWKT quad, which has always made me smile.)


I emailed my former professor the other day asking him if he could send me a reading I had since lost about the relationship between Christmas and Hannukah...he responded, saying he had since contributed the information to a BYU Religious Studies Center blog.

Happy holidays to you and yours!
