Lewis Black The Rant is Due: Best of Hanukkah

(Lewis Black, Nov. 28, 2021) For some the Festival of Lights brings eight days of gift giving, gelt, dreidels, and latkes. For others it's an otherwise lesser holiday that has only become popular because it falls on the calendar near Christmas. Black tackles all the Hanukkah (Chanukkah) controversies, including how to pronounce it, when to celebrate it, and whether it's okay to say "Merry Christmas" to a Jewish person.
