Re: Hanukkah, menorah (fwd)

Please see the attached message - one of several I received personally;
thanks to the tact of the list, no one posted their correction to the
list. The mistake is mine, not my husband's, as I originally thought. It's
fun to know people read and care enough to make sure we are accurate as a
group. Thanks to you all who wrote.

Hi Rebecca.  Oops!  "Shamash" is Hebrew for the helper candle used with the
"hanukkiah" (the Hanukkah candalabra) and "shammes" is Yiddish for the same
thing.  (It was just backwards in your posting!)

Happy winter break!
