That was a really wide ranging discussion.
You might also want see and comment on the non-holiday Hallmark film:
Loving Leah2009 ‧ 1h 38m
involving a secular Jewish MD who ceremonially marries his Rabbi brother’s widow to follow tradition and you’ll never guess what happens …
This podcast is a highlight of my holiday season, and bonus Bethany! this is just a relaxing hour wih the Ricochet Mishpocheh. (I’m a Mormon goy, so I hope I used that right).
Great dissection of a Hallmark movie. I second Loving Leah especially since it didn’t involve Christians or Christmas. One of problems Bethany is that the Protestant Bible does not include the Maccabees. I think for a time many Jews did not want to have to explain the story so the whole ‘Hannakuh is a Jewish Christmas’ became an easy shorthand.
