Hello everyone!

This week we're taking a listener request and telling you the story behind the holiday

of Hanukkah.

This is a story from the Jewish faith which has about 14 million followers across the

world.

It's an old story and whether you're religious or not, it's of huge cultural importance.

Next week we're doing a similar story for the origin of Christmas.

If you have an idea for a story you'd like us to tell, just go to storiespodcast.com

and let us know.

And as always you can support the show by going to patreon.com slash stories and donating

or by going to stories.com and clicking the amazon.com banner.

When you click that banner Amazon donates to us a small portion of every purchase you

make at no extra charge to you.

Perfect for helping out the show and doing your holiday shopping at the same time.

Hi, I'm Landon Witson and I host an episode of Who's Amazing Life, a Wondery Podcast

for kids and families.

opportunities you discover that your passion for bulbs and blooms can help others and maybe

even change the world.

Listen to the plant doctor and other incredible stories from Who's Amazing Life on Amazon

Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

And now the origins of Hanukkah.
