Why do we celebrate eight nights of Chanukah? The oil burned eight days, but it was supposed to burn one, so only seven are miraculous. (Please don't mail me the answers, post to net. I know there are over 100 answers to this question, I just want to wake people's minds up as they peruse this at 2am. I will post an answer shortly) #2. I am interested to learn if anyone else on the net has relatives that hail from Bessarabia, presently the Moldavian SSR, and from where. My family is from Soroki, and I'd be interested to know is there are more Bessarabers out there. David Esan (ritcv!moscom!de)
