The main spots for Christianity are Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Ariel those have the largest populations of Christians. Those Christians generally celebrate Christmas with large family gatherings and mass in the Churches of the Nativity, Assumption, and Holy Sepulchre. There are approximately 195,000 Palestinian Christians and about 12,000 messianic Jews. Also, there are many Russian-born Israelis who celebrate Christmas.

Christmas is just like any other weekday in Israel. Since over 90% of the population is Jewish or Muslim (neither of which celebrate Christmas), people go to work on Christmas. Schools are in session, and banks and businesses are open as usual. This is the case throughout the Middle East and in most of Asia as well.

What is another name for Hanukkah?
Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Lights, the Feast of the Dedication, or the Feast of the Maccabees. In addition, it is sometimes also spelled as Chanukkah.
Latkes are potato pancakes prepared for Hanukkah, a Jewish holiday that in addition to other things, celebrates the 'miracle of light'. This refers to the fact that after the Maccabee Jews defeated the Greek Syrians and came back to light the Menora of the Temple in Jerusalem, there was no more pure olive oil to be found, except for a small amount that ended up miraculously lasting for eight days (until more could be found/processed).
Because oil is part of the miracle, oily foods tend to be eaten as a symbol. Latkes are thus potato pancakes made with oil.
Latkes are potato pancakes, often served as part of the Jewish Hannukah celebration. Some people like them with sour cream, but I prefer mine with a little butter and applesauce.
Latke is a Yiddish word that means pancake. During Channukah, most people eat potato latkes but personally, my favourite are wild rice and mushroom latkes.
How do you say happy Hanukkah in Icelandic?
"Happy Channukah" is "Gleðilega Ljósahátíð" in Icelandic. The majority of the Icelandic population is protestant and does therefore not celebrate Channukah. However a word for the holiday exists. "Ljósahátíð" consists of two words: "Ljós" which means "Light" and "hátíð" which means "festival" . Thus "Ljósahátíð" (lee-yo-sa-how-teeth) Means the festival of light

Do Hanukkah people eat Parmesan dip and chips?
There is no such thing as "Hanukkah people". Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrated by Jewish people.

What is a vegan recipe for potato 'latkes'?
VEGAN LATKES
Makes about 3 dozen
You can find recipes for traditional latkes, in which the grated potato is held together with eggs, almost anywhere, so I thought I'd offer my vegan version. In it, the grated potato is held together with something just as sticky as eggs (oatmeal!) and it works splendidly. I've also added a carrot for extra color. * 2/3 cup quick-cooking oats (oatmeal) * 6 large potatoes, peeled and finely grated * 1 medium carrot, grated * 1 medium onion, finely grated * l/2 cup matzo meal * Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste * Light vegetable oil for frying * Applesauce In a heatproof bowl, combine the oats with 1 1/3 cup boiling water. Stir and set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
Combine the grated potato, carrot, and onion, and matzo meal in a mixing bowl. Stir in the oatmeal, then season with salt and pepper.
Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a large, nonstick skillet or griddle. Drop enough potato batter to form 2 1/2- to 3-inch pancakes. Fry on both sides over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp.
Drain briefly on paper towels and place in a covered container to keep warm until serving. Serve warm with applesauce.

Why do people go to a synagogue?
The synagogue has 3 functions: A house of prayer, study, and assembly.
We can pray privately when necessary, but communal prayer in the synagogue has a much stronger effect (Talmud, Berakhot 7b-8a). Praying also strengthens the spiritual level and the bonds within the community.
The importance of prayer:
Prayer services are part of halakha (Jewish law) and tradition (Talmud, Berakhot 26a); and the Torah records several prayers of our forefathers.
Prayer is an important form of communicating with God, and maintaining a relationship with Him; and it is also good for the health of the soul, to which Torah, prayer and religious observances are a form of nourishment. Judaism sees it as centrally important to thank God, to recognize that He is the source of prosperity, and to be close to Him.
How do Jews pray?
The Jewish prayer-book has a structured order. Prayers are ancient, and often are sung or chanted. Some prayers are said in unison (such as Shir Hakavod), and some are not. Some prayers are said more than once per day (such as the Shema), some once a day (such as Yotzer Ohr), and others are said only on Sabbath, festivals or certain occasions. Some prayers are said aloud (such as Kaddish), some are sung (such as Lekha Dodi) and some are to be whispered (the Amidah). Most of the services are in Hebrew, but a couple of prayers are in Aramaic (such as Brikh Shemei).
While praying, Jews either sit, or stand, depending on the prayer. There is also some bowing forward (in the Amidah and Aleinu), but Jews today do not kneel except once a year on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement).
In between the prayers, Kaddish is said; and the Torah is read on many occasions (over two hundred times a year).
While formal prayer services are held in the synagogue three times each day throughout the year, many other blessings (such as those over meals) are said in the home.
What is meaning of loaf of bread with candles to Jewish people?
From sunset on Friday evening to sundown Saturday night is considered the Sabbath (Shabbat) for the Jewish people. On Friday at sunset, at least two candles are lit and blessed to welcome in the Shabbat. Traditionally, this is a role of women in Judaism. During Shabbat, there are three meals eaten: One on Friday evening, two on Saturday. At the first two of these meals, challah (the twisted bread) is blessed and eaten. The meals don't begin without two loaves of bread. Any whole loaf of bread can be used, but it is tradional for most Jews to use challah.

What type and weight oil is used on 1994 Oldsmobile delta 88 Royal?
My 93 regency says 10w30 but 5w30 is what I would suggest if driving in winter conditions.
As for the type, name brand is not important just look for the little round API certification label it should have an SM listed in it. If the oil is not API -SM certified do not buy it.
An API certification of SM means that the oil meets all 2007 performance standards which are alot stricter than older standards.
No. This is a character from a Saturday Night Live sketch in 1989. It was a spoof of Santa, and has no basis in Judaism.
