Happy Chanukah! If you don't know, Chanukah is an 8-day holiday in which Jews around the world celebrate the miracle of chocolate-covered gold coins.

During this episode, Yael Jew-splains the holiday to a mortified Chaya Leah, who issues one or two corrections. We talk about playing sports in the nude (it's a Greek thing, you wouldn't understand), Christmas envy, and holidays blues. Chaya Leah wonders how Yael doesn't fall into deep depression over the holidays, and maybe vice versa. We talk about reality vs. expectations when it comes to holiday cheer and introduce a new segment: Things That Aren't The Holocaust. This week in TTATH: "The great Twitter massacre of 2022". Every day, we thank Hashem that Elon Musk isn't Jewish. Could you imagine??

Also, do you know what Chaya Leah's grandparents got for Chanukah in Auschwitz?? Nothing, that's what! So stop complaining.
