Plus: airline maps, childhood obesity, and why Nick goes all out for the holiday these days. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year!

Most people think of Hanukkah as the “Jewish Christmas,” a cultural celebration with candles, dreidels, and chocolate coins. But the real story is far older, far weightier, and far more connected to the story of Jesus than many Christians realize.  Hanukkah is a story about attempted erasure, courageous resistance, and God's unstoppable commitment to preserve His covenant promises. In this episode, we walk through the rise of Antiochus, the Seleucid king who sought not only to dominate Israel but to erase its identity - banning circumcision, outlawing Torah, desecrating the Temple, and demanding assimilation.  Yet when the majority gave way to cultural pressure, a few refused to bow. The Maccabees stood when others surrendered, preserving the line through which Messiah would one day come. And 150 years later, during this very feast, Jesus walked in the Temple and declared Himself the Light of the World. The same God who preserved His people through the few stands faithful today.  Hanukkah isn't merely history; it is a lens for understanding the spiritual battles of our own moment and the hope of the King who will come again. Key Takeaways Hanukkah is rooted in real biblical history - not legend - and is foreshadowed in Daniel's visions. Antiochus Epiphanes sought to erase Jewish identity and break the covenant line of David. The Maccabees embodied “the few” whom God uses to preserve His promises. The real miracle of Hanukkah is God's covenant faithfulness, not just the oil. Jesus celebrated Hanukkah (John 10:22) and used the feast to reveal His identity. The spirit of Antiochus - the antichrist spirit - still rises in every generation. Hanukkah points forward to the return of Messiah, the true Light of the World.

Send us a textYes, I know that Octavian IS Augustus, but this episode is about how Gaius Octavius became Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus, and in doing so replaced the old Roman Republic with a military autocracy masquerading as a republic. This is the conclusion of our three part series on the fall of the Roman Republic. My cohost for all three episodes has been my good friend Dr. Jennifer Paxton of the Catholic University of America.This episode includes two audio snippets:Mark Antony's funeral oration for Caesar, from the 1953 film version of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" (with Marlon Brando as Brutus)"What have the Romans done for us?" from "Monty Python's The Life of Brian"Quotations from:Appian on Caesar's Funeral, trans. John Carter (https://www.livius.org/sources/content/appian/appian-caesars-funeral/)Res Gestae Divi Augusti ("the achievements of the deified Augustus"), trans. F.W. Shipley  (https://www.livius.org/sources/content/augustus-res-gestae/)Tacitus Agricola. Translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb (1877)Tacitus, Annals. Loeb Classical Library edition of Tacitus, 1931For another take on the story, I recommend listening to "Marc Antony vs. Octavian Caesar: Ancient Rome's Ruthless Rivals," a two part series on the podcast "Beef with Bridget Todd."As I am posting this a couple of days before Christmas and Hanukkah, I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays. And if you haven't yet listened to it, you might want to try our episode on how Hanukkah and Christmas were celebrated in the Middle Ages (with detours into how Hanukkah became the Jewish Christmas in the United States and why the Puritans tried to suppress Christmas).Listen on Podurama https://podurama.com Intro and exit music are by Alexander NakaradaIf you have questions, feel free to contact me at richard.abels54@gmail.com

Dee has always found the idea of Santa Claus to be a bit creepy but he would never murder him in front of a group of screaming children like one-eyed, Nazi pedophile Paul Shafer who founded a fanatical Christian compound in Southern Chile.

Dr. Hollisa Alewine brought a beautiful and timely message showing the history of the first Chanukah and that it's not a Jewish Christmas.  She also made clear connections to believers as a royal priesthood that needs to be geared up and ready for the mission ahead. 

People too often fail to recognize how Jewish Christmas really is. To begin, the Christmas story has all sorts of Jewish ceremonies. On Friday's Mornings with Eric and Brigitte, Greg Savitt, with Rock of Israel Ministries joins us, and shares, "Today, many Messianic Jews believe that the Messiah was actually born during the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles), in the autumn season, so they will celebrate His birth then. Whether He was born during Tabernacles, on December 25th or on a different date entirely, the fact remains -- He was indeed born". "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling (Tabernacle) among us." John 1:14. For this miracle, we are thankful.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wrmbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christmas and Hanukkah share similar space on the calendar, but is there more than that? Join us as we learn a lot from our Jewish brothers and sisters about God's desire to deliver his kids from the pain of this world. Hanukkah is not the Jewish Christmas, but there is so much for us to learn and be inspired by this great story of God's crazy love for His kids. 

On the Saturday December 23, 2023 edition of the Richard Crouse Show we have look at some of the greatest Christmas songs of all time. First we meet Moe Berg, one forth of the Trans-Canada Highwaymen, a new band that consists of four of this country's best rock singer-songwriters,  Sloan's Chris Murphy, Odds' Craig Nothey and former Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page.  The album, “Explosive Hits Vol. 1,” is covers of Canadian AM rock radio hits from the 1960s and 70's and it's super fun. Moe Berg and I talk about the new album, and then get into the spirit of the season as Moe talks about a Christmas song he wrote with the Pursuit of Happiness and a tune he loves so much, he has a plaque with the lyrics. “Furious Devotion” author Richard Balls joins me to talk about “Fairytale of New York,”  a song that is an Irish folk-style ballad and was written as a duet, with the Pogues' singer Shane MacGowan and Kristy MacColl as bickering former lovers on Christmas Eve. A song about their youthful hopes crushed by alcohol and drug addiction doesn't sound like a Christmas cracker, but in the UK it was the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century and re-enters the music charts every December. We'll also get to know Larry Weinstein, director of the documentary “Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas,” a musical documentary about the amazing story of a group of Jewish songwriters who wrote the soundtrack to Christmas, and we'll learn how the Cuban Missile Crisis inspired one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time. Finally we wrap with Brent Butt, the star, writer and/or producer of TV shows such as “Corner Gas,” “Hiccups” and “Corner Gas Animated,” and the author of the best-selling thriller “Huge,” and home designer, television host and producer, best-selling author, sought-after public speaker, and host of her own special Tuscan getaways Debbie Travis on their favorite Christmas songs and stories.

Charles welcomes the venerable Warren Kinsella back for another spin into the weekend! It's Hanukkah, and Mayors/politicians around North America are skipping lighting ceremonies because they have no clue how to separate Jewish Christmas from Politics. The Mayor of Calgary and a few other politicians refused to show up for Menora lightings in case they offended Hamas supporters. Is that a real thing? Yup/ Warrena and Chuck explain. MIT, Harvard, and UPenn presidents said calling for the genocide of Jews on their campuses was totally acceptable. Chuck and Warren give some background on the financial model of international students and why post-secondary education institutes have become a breeding ground of hatred towards democracy and the Jewish faith. We close with Pierre Poilievre's Carbon tax stunt. Warren is pro-stunt. Charles is not. I love it when two legends disagree with respect. You could learn a lot about discourse from these two men.

Every year around the world, millions of Jewish people celebrate Hanukkah. This year, it's probably going to feel a little different. As ancient echoes of widespread anti-Semitism, anti-Judaism, and anti-Zionism seem to be resounding again in the present time, the Jewish battle for survival against the Seleucid Empire finds its eerie, parallel expression in yet another conflict between Israel and her neighbors. Our guests today are First Fruits of Zion Senior Educator Aaron Eby and his wife, Rachel, and they're going to tell us all about Hanukkah. – Episode Highlights – What is Hanukkah? Is Hanukkah the Jewish Christmas? Candles, songs, prayers, menorahs, dreidels, latkes, sufganiyot, presents, and other traditions that enhance the holiday. The trick to frying the perfect latke. Food is such a central part of creating lasting memories. What does Hanukkah look like for a Messianic Jewish family? Traditional Jewish observance of the holliday. What historical event does Hanukkah recall? Why didn't the book of Maccabees make it into the Hebrew Bible? What would have happened if the Jews had not defeated the Greek army? How does Messianic faith in Yeshua enhance the holiday? How can followers of Yeshua who are not Jewish connect to the Jewish holiday? The oft repeated battle for the survival of Judaism and the Jewish people. What are the most meaningful elements of the holiday? – Related Resource Links – Light: A Hanukkah Anthology https://ffoz.store/products/light-a-hanukkah-anthology-book Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

The Lord's Day reminds us what God has done for us. Preached April 16, 2023 Pastor Aaron Frasier

Matt and Kyle are back after a holiday break with a all new episode of the Steamboat Comedy Podcast! Topics of discussion include Jewish Christmas, Avatar whales, and stupid New Year's Resolutions

Welcome to Episode 30, unencumbered by scripts, format sheets or any real planning! Marty and Spirited Kenny discuss the holidays, how quiet it is this year, and how Marty engaged in one of his pastimes - watching holiday specials from local US market stations in L.A., Chicago and New York City. 5:30 - The subject of 'things that you don't believe you saw' arises: Marty's west end drive for a traditional "Jewish Christmas meal"- which in Winnipeg means Spring Roll Restaurant for Shrimp on Toast - brought the startling sight of 4 vehicles walled in by snowplows on Erin Street. Why they were parked there, and how will they get out? That leads to... 10:50 - Marty telling how he saw a UFO this summer. In well over 1000 radio, podcast and TV episodes, Marty has never discussed one of Kenny's favorite topics, encounters with strange unnatural phenomena. "This is why I'm here" says Kenny, as we wind through the events of August 19, 2022, after Marty hosted a CWE wrestling card in Amaranth, Manitoba about 180 KM north and west of Winnipeg. Our first time in the town wasn't only memorable for the enthusiastic crowd and hard-hitting matches, it was memorable for the drive home and what appeared in the western sky around 10.30 that night. Listen to Marty describe how the sighting unfolded, and his reaction the next morning when he re-sized the photos of the night sky and zoomed in. Then he had to talk it over with his fellow travelers! You will also hear Kenny's response to seeing the photos for the first time, the colours he sees in photo of the night sky, and why this qualifies as a genuine UFO sighting that will get additional notice in the region. This is a very unusual discussion for TGCTS and one you'll want to hear for yourself. Kenny refers to an episode of his program InterestingWorld.ca about UFO sightings and here is the link to the sonic boom video he mentioned: https://youtube.com/shorts/eGEvPL5bJ0g 32:30 - Part 2 - Boxing Day is Marty's sister's birthday, and he shares a few memories of what it was like for a Jewish family to not care about Christmas but to actually pay attention to Boxing Day, and not because of the Krazy Krazy sales. 37:30 - Update on the latest stories in TheJ.ca, Canada's national online Jewish newspaper. Among other stories, BBC Arabic was forced to lecture the staff after things went way too far. 43:40 - We have a brief discussion about newsmakers of the year, internationally, nationally and locally. On the local scene, we note the Premier's ongoing health issues. Marty suggests a worthy nominee relating to the civic election and Kenny has his own, worthy nominee for recognition (for all the wrong reasons). Long-time listeners will find the suggestions amusing. Looking towards 2023: With a provincial election on the horizon, and after a successful civic campaign, we are going to organize our platform to bring forward the news, interviews and issues MSM won't touch. This work will require the support of listeners and we know we will continue to earn that support. Winnipeg needs alternative media more than ever...

Christine Darg's Bible prophecy update at Hanukkah and Christmas

Right now, families across the world are celebrating Hanukkah, so we thought it would be a good time to revisit our conversation all about the Jewish holiday. In this encore episode, we get into why Hanukkah is not Jewish Christmas, and how the minor holiday has an outsized place in pop culture.

Most people have heard of Hanukkah but most people don't know a thing about it except to kinda describe it as a Jewish Christmas.  But it is not the case it is not a Jewish Christmas. It is a holiday that is celebrated a great deal now by Jewish people around the world even though it is not considered one of the most important of holidays.  But there is a wonderful story about where it came from and if you're an educated and thoughtful person you should know something about the Hanukkah story.  By the way many of my Jewish friends I'm very happy that I take time to learn about their condition and one of them even said to me. I learned more about Hanukkah from you than I actually learned in synagogue school. Please take my challenge seriously that I put together in this 15 or 20 minutes because I've got a number of ideas that might be helpful to you and there is a great question that I'm going to ask you that is important and in a way the Hanukkah celebration is a part of the question,  and the question is do you believe in miracles even little ones.  So please hear me out because it is important for those of us who want to be leaders and influential people in our world and in the marketplace today.  

Aaron starts off the episode with a wild cautionary tale of athletic supporters and emergency dumps. This leads Andrew to demand jock strap lingerie equality for men. Then, a business idea erupts that involved Danish's Jewish Christmas tree menorah patch, and they debate how many and what kind of birds could lift Andy for a flying show. This leads to O'Neill coming up with a kissing booth idea for Andy.  Get 20% Off and Free Shipping with the code BEACHCOPS at Manscaped.com.

Some think of Chanukah simply as the Jewish Christmas because they take place around the same time. But Chanukah not only preceded Christmas, Jesus actually celebrated Chanukah, in Jerusalem, in the Temple. Did you know that? This week we are joined by Rabbi Avi Baumol discussing what Chanukah is really all about, and how and why it became a holiday that's a cornerstone of the Jewish calendar.

In this bonus episode, Michael Jamin shares a live reading of Merry Jewish Christmas, an essay from Michael's upcoming book A Paper Orchestra.Show NotesMichael's Screenwriting Course - https://michaeljamin.com/courseFree Screenwriting Lesson - https://michaeljamin.com/freeLearn More About A Paper Orchestra - https://michaeljamin.com/storyMichael: (00:00)Hi, it's Michael Jamin. We have a bonus podcast episode for you today. Uh, as many of you know, I'm working on a collection of personal essays called a paper orchestra, and I was recently invited to read one of them aloud at a public event called strong words. And so the story I wrote and read is called Merry Jewish Christmas. I hope you enjoy it. You're listening to screenwriters need to hear this for, with Michael JaminMichael: (00:27)Story called, uh, Mary Jewish Christmas. And it's AER from my upcoming book, a paper orchestra growing up Jewish. I learned early on that Christmas was the greatest party I'd never be invited to. There were would be no Santa coming down. My chimney, no chestnuts. Roasting on an open fire, no house wrapped in twinkling lights. They made Christmas tantalizing. no wonder Joseph and Mary were camped out of the neighbor's lawn. They were hoping to get a ticket inside. Sadly, the Christmas rules were very clear. No Jews. Yeah. The best I could do was hunker down until January 1st. When baby new year would shove baby Jesus out of the way, a baby fight. That's what I was.Michael: (01:15)As a child, I recall going to the supermarket where a have yourself, a very Merry Christmas playing on a loudspeaker. Oh, that heartbreakingly beautiful song. My people were already predisposed to depression. Do we really need this as well? a chef with a pension for cookie-based architecture, the glorious gingerbread house, the size of a fire hydrant with its gumdrop tile, roof, and frosting frosted windows. This wasn't a mere representation of Christmas. It was Christmas itself. I wanted to live in it. if only I could shrink down to the size of a green army man and crawl inside. I'd barricade the door by licking peppermints together, sticking like cement blocks. Anyone who dared poked their head in would get a sharpened candy, came to the, a warning to any would-be intruder that this Christmas Jew was here to stay.Michael: (02:08)I wasn't allowed to linger as my mother was in a hurry to ingredients for our upcoming holiday dinner comic grabbed and pulled me to the Jewish culinary destination, the potato band I'm making LACAs in my mother. And she carefully hand-selected each bland lifeless rock that would roll downhill into our stomachs. somewhere along the way, my ancestors had managed to take a perfectly good breakfast. The pancake removes the delicious doughy part and replace it with an edible tube or fried and grease. And we're gonna top them with apple sauce sheet, half of the added apple sauce. What am I? 80 frosty the snowman standing on the checkout aisle. Wasn't making me any less jealous with his corn car pipe and his eyes of coal. He was scrappy and delightful. what religion wouldn't wanna claim him for our own is frosty Christian.Michael: (03:14)I asked my mother, are you kidding me? He probably dries a Camaro. And she went back to belt to be honest, this whole Hanukah thing needed rethinking. Part of the problem is that you couldn't hype its arrival because it never felt on the same day. The Jewish calendar is lunar. Not solar. Sometimes Hanukah would land near Christmas. Other times it came shockingly early. Hey, did you know Hanukah falls on November 30th this year, November over sake. as it stood, I'd have to admire Christmas from afar until one Eve on foggy Christmas Eve. When I managed to experience Christmas as an insider, it happened while on vacation in the Amish country, Pennsylvania. It was my father's idea to introduce us to culture instead of taking us someplace good, like Disney world we checked in at a nearby resort. That was the vacation spot in 1958 once upscale and chic, the hotel had fall into disrepair. Yes, a fire roared in the lobby, but I can only imagine it was fueled by a mountain of status and safety violations. luckily, whatever money they saved in sprinkler upgrades that might save our lives was spent on Christmas decorations. That brought wonder to my Hebrew eyes flex of silver and gold were splayed everywhere, and they had a name for it. Tin learned other words too. The aging pianist in the lobby sang of magical creatures that were half reptile and half bird called turtles. They sounded tank .Michael: (05:06)There was a log called a U and an a bowl. There was a knock the pleasure was insane. On Christmas morning, we awoke to find fresh snowfall on the ground. Just let the movies promised my sister and I got quickly dressed and raced downstairs to so the Christmas tree like you're supposed to and they're handing out presents to a hoard of waiting. Children was a big man himself. Jo Saint Nick, go get one urge my mother, but we're Jewish he doesn't know that he's probably drunk go before my mother nudged me. I approached just as Santa was being handed a fresh stack of presence from one of the elves who I now recognized as our bus boy from last night's dinner. I said nothing though. We were both keeping secrets. admittedly, I took pleasure receiving a present from Santa Claus and the fact that I might be depriving a deserving Christian child, just because he was late getting to the lobby.Michael: (06:06)Didn't bother me in the slightest . Did that make me a bad person or had I already crossed that line? When I told Santa my name is Tim, I rushed to a quiet part of the lobby to unwrap my Christmas bounty. I was certain mine contained the perfect gift. The moment before unwrapping any gift is always magical because that's when the present is at its highest potential. It could be anything you wanted it to be. I suppose the same could be said about a Jewish child out to experience Christmas for the first time. Just imagine. And now imagine my disappointment. When I discovered what lie beneath the wrapping, it was a bargain rack board game that the hotel picked up at that thrift store. It was like Santa had known all along and he knifed me right in the Jewish gut.Michael: (06:58)And although I don't recall the exact name of this board game for the sake of things, let's just call it abject disappointment by Parker brothers. . I had betrayed my heritage by pretending to be Christian and for what a lousy board game to this day, Christmas morning holds an unsettling stillness for me when most of the population is inside unwrapping presents and spreading good cheer. We Jews wander the city, just like chase Joseph and Mary searching for a destination that will take us in. Usually it's a Chinese restaurant. So that's exactly what Cynthia and I did with our daughters. On Christmas day, it's strange to have a restaurant almost entirely to yourself. Even if you're with someone there's a loneliness to it, you can hear it in the silence. At least that's how I felt when our Mohu vegetables arrived. We sat at the window tables, staring outside where not even a mouse was stirring and closer to the door was an older couple who had grappled with a similar feeling, but ordered the noodles instead for a moment, the woman and I made eye contact on any other day, we may have both looked away, but this was Christmas, even though we were strangers, I think we wanted to share a feeling of connection or at least acknowledge our sense of isolation.Michael: (08:28)She gave me a smile that said, eh, what are you gonna do? When our meal was over, I ordered a serving of moon cake. Not much just a little sweetness to help enjoy the day as I ushered my family out the door. I set it down on the women's table, Merry Jewish Christmas. I said Merry Jewish ChristmasMichael: (08:55)To you too.Michael: (09:01)Hi, it's Michael. Thank you so much for listening.

“Christmas is pagan” “Christmas is anti-Jewish” “Christmas is Catholic” If you're a Messianic believer, almost certainly you've heard these claims. Are they true? The Gospels record, Today in the city of David is born a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord. And the sign to you is this: You'll find an infant wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger. And suddenly, a multitude of heavenly armies appeared with the angel, praise God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest! And shalom on earth and good will to men!” Luke 2 This Biblical event 2000 years ago changed the world forever. Today, it's celebrated by billions of Christians around the world as Christmas. But many Messianic believers don't celebrate Christmas. Some of us feel it's un-Jewish to do so, especially given the existence of Hanukkah and its anti-assimilation themes. Some Messianics feel that Christmas is mere dressed up Catholicism, a view shared by some early Reformers. Some Messianics highlight pagan influences that have seeped in: Christmas trees, yuletide, and other “Christmas” symbols have more to do with Norse and Germanic mythology than the historical Jewish Messiah. In this new episode, Messianic apologist and author J.K. McKee and I discuss how Messianic people can navigate the winter holidays while avoiding some of the doom, gloom, and heresy hunting too prevalent in today's Hebrew Roots movement. I argue we Messianic believers ought to have joy at this time of year. It's OK to have joy that Messiah was born. It's OK to have joy that billions of people are celebrating His birth, even if it's not exactly on the right day. Tune in for a great discussion between John, who celebrates Hanukkah, and Judah, who celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas.
