it is the miracle of lights. The temple was destroyed and there was only oil for one night but instead it lasted for eight days. you have a Memorah with room for eight candles and one to light the candles.You start with one until you use eight. Is that close?

The centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration is the hanukkiah or menorah, a candelabra that holds nine candles. Eight candles symbolize the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, the shamash, is a helper candle used to light the others.

My depression is so bad. the new medicine is making me overeat so much.
I didn't hear from Aaron again. for over six months he has been calling me twice a week. Initially he was only supposed to call me for a month. He is back home with his family for the holidays so many he was lonely before. I miss him. I wanted to tell him I finally finished the hobbit-exceptional book.
I had a wonderful time with my new friend who will be a rabbi at the end of the spring. Our conversations are fantastic. I also ask her to sing for me. She has such a beautiful voice. I am trying to convince her to sing on youtube and then you can hear it and I can play it a lot. I had P.T.this morning. It is going to be so slow.
Love
