About Mayim Bialik:
You might know me as Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory or from Blossom but there are so many other parts of me that you might not be aware of! I’m trained as a neuroscientist, I'm a passionate activist, an observant jew, a perfectly imperfect mother, and I'm a complicated human being like many of you. This is the place where I wear all of those hats - and none of them have a flower on them! ;) - Фільми й анімація
I will show this video to my 7 year old son. We celebrate Christmas but his school is a very diverse one. He asked me about Hanukkah and other holiday celebrations, and I couldn't explain to him.
In Israel we never get presents on Hanukkah (only chocolate or pocket money for the children). I'm pretty sure the whole presents thing started in countries where Christmas is celebrated so the Jewish kids won't be jealous of the Christian kids for getting presents on Christmas, but correct me if I'm wrong~

Nope....
And you also don't get the Messiah. Which we gentiles wish you did.
Manly Moesha You can't culturally appropriate from the dominant culture. It has to be a more dominant (or equal) culture that not only adopts the practices, but also twists them in a manner that is harmful to those they took it from. Judaists giving presents to their kids for Chanukah? That actually BENEFITS the majority culture, which has a capitalist structure.

Humour and editing on this video is fantastic!
I’m Roman Catholic, but nevertheless I love Jewish culture and traditions. Specially when one of the stars from my favourite sit com talk about it😁👏😍
I am a Christian. This video was really educational for me! I loved your enthusiasm
I wasn't raised to have any understanding of Judaism or any other religion really. I was brought up in a predominantly baptist Christian belief system and although I don't really follow the teachings or adhere to a lot of the standards of fundamental Christianity today as an adult, I LOVE seeing you talk about what being Jewish means to you, and how you choose to observe and celebrate it in your own personal way, while still honoring your traditional values. I think it's really beautiful to learn and understand different religions and spiritual belief, especially from those that are open-minded and compassionate towards other people that see things differently, like you. You're just fantastic Mayim. I love your joy and zest for everything you say and do. Thank you for being a positive and thoughtful voice amidst the chaos we're all too used to seeing in media everywhere. You're truly a breath of fresh air. 💖💖💖💖
She wasn't explaining "her own personal way", she was explaining the truths and falsehoods behind what Americans interpret Jewish holidays to signify. You may have no religion whatsoever and that's fine. But don't insult Mayim by making her seem like she's explaining her personally created meaning of the Jewish holidays. Some Jewish communities may possibly do things a little differently from each other, but overall Mayim is giving a general explanation of how the Jewish celebrate.
Last time i learned about this subject, it was from the holiday armadillo.
lol
My boy Ross!!
Hilarious my friend!
Lol!!! Love it!
😂😂😂😂
Mayim Bialik has a joyful way of making education about Hanukkah entertaining and non-mystical. I love her summation: Every Hanukkiah is a Menorah but not every Menorah is a Hanukkiah. Happy Hanukkah fellow Academes!
Thank you for this!!! I recently learned I have pretty extensive Jewish heritage, so I’m celebrating Chanukah for the first time this year and trying to learn more about it. I got some of the true/false things wrong so this was very educational and enjoyable for me. Happy Chanukah Mayim!
love the way you tell us all about the traditions and holidays happy Hanukkah xxx
I super appreciate you doing this video! I teach elementary school music and I am incorporating Hanukkah into my lessons this year and they really enjoyed listening to you explanation and your quiz. My students haven't had as much exposure to traditions other than the ones they participate in themselves, so being able to show an entertaining video that is also very informative helped them understand Hanukkah better than i ever could have explained it!
Came on to say the same thing. This is a great explanation and I can't wait to share it with my students.
Being a Catholic, I just learned a lot!! Thank You
So did I
Norwegian evangelist Lutheran
Thank you for explanatory video
So did i
Same here!😁
It’s like Fun With Flags - only with religion and charisma.
Haha so true!!!
So true lol
Three cheers for religious freedom and greasy food!! ✡️🕎✡️🕎✡️👏👏👏
Amen, Hanukkah is mainly about being willing to die for your religious freedom.
Ironic. It's a religious holiday that celebrates a religious zealot who massacred his fellow Jews for not practicing Judaism purely enough. He wanted to choose and impose his monotheistic beliefs on everyone and killed or forced to flee those who did not agree. So... Religious freedom???
We give money in Hannukah. She said we don't give presents.
@@xydoit2024 depends on ones practices some give money,, candy, others presents, or/and some nothing
I've just downloaded this magical gem to show to my grade-school kids at the JCC where I work. This is the most realistic, descriptive, and wonderful explanation I've ever found! Thanks Mayim!
You have such an easy-going and fun way of explaining things like this. It's so helpful! Thank you for teaching me the things I never got to learn from my Jewish grandma before she passed away when I was young. I seriously love you, Mayim! :)
finding light in darkness sounds beautiful and is what I need after this dreadful year for our country. Thank you 😊
And you thought 5 years ago was bad! Hope you are all well.
Such a fun video! I am Christian with a Jewish family and I loved doing Hanukkah activities with them. The dreidel was my favorite along with eating lots of chocolate coins
Thank you so much for these videos. I've always had a fascination with religions and I really love hearing from a believer how and why they love/celebrate/practice them. The world needs more videos like this!!
It was interesting to learn about how the holiday switches around. I never knew that people who celebrated Hanukkah used a different calendar instead of the traditional Gregorian calendar. It was also interesting to learn about what Hanukkah was truly about.
You are a trip in the best way I always learn something and I love you such an wonderful lady. Happy that you and your family are prat of ours via UA-cam and all of your works be it books or television; helping to teach my daughter that science, math, and being a girl as she is 15/ young women is beautiful and empowering- I am one very thankful mom.
So interesting, thank you. I want to do this. I'm Jewish by birth but wasn't brought up in the faith. This practice looks so satisfying.
You should check out the videos by her friend, Alison Josephs who created Jew in the City. She and Mayim are learning partners and close friends. Feel free to PM me, if you'd like. All the best and Happy Chanukah!
I love this girl!. She's so witty and talented!!!
Excellent video. I watched this with my 4 and 6 year old as part of our introduction to Hanukkah and I learned several things, too! Thanks so much!
I love your pure excitment so much! "Happu nothing" hahah. It's amazing that two festivities fell on one day! I hope you'll have an amazing birthday and hanukkah!
You just make me smile with your genuine happiness and energy!
Thank you so much. I have a class of 50% Jewish children. I knew so little about Hanukkah that I went searching and found you. This is a great video and I will be showing it to my 6th grade class.
Really great vid Mayim! Love the enthusiasm. Those little net bags of chocolate coins have been a fixture of my festivities since I was a kid. Happy Hanukkah and Birthday to you. Such a lovely lady!
Happy Birthday and Happy Chanukah, Mayim! You're terrific.
Today I learned that Hanukkah is actually fattening and delicious and fun and empowering and not (necessarily) eight days of presents. Yay learning! Happy Hanukkah!
you are amazing!! Every post that you post about the religious or about Israel make me proud and it's very special to me!
You are a really special woman and thank you for that.
love you from Israel
היי אנחנו זוג וולוגרים חדשים מישראל וממש נשמח לכל עזרה ותמיכה אפשרית :) יש מצב שתראי את הוולוגים שלנו ותרשמי לערוץ שלנו אם את אוהבת? הם כולם באנגלית אבל לא נראה שיש לך בעיה עם זה :)

המון המון תודה וסופ"ש נעים
I think this was my new favorite episode! GREAT JOB Mayim! Got teary!
Happy Hanukkah! Thanks for sharing!
OMG the pijama with cats&glasses *I'm in love*
I like how she went into depth with this subject. It is also very interesting to learn about different cultures, and how they do very differnt things for holidays such as Hanukkah.
Mayim, I am so thrilled that you posted this. My elementary students are researching December Holidays (in an attempt to bring cultural awareness) and today is the start of Hannukah. We are watching your video and then they have to add to their research.
And - Happy Birthday!
Everything I know about Hanukkah, I learned from Rugrats. ... And this video!

Hi!!! I have a birthday on Hanukah!!! Mazal Tov to us all!!!
אלון גרעיני - AlonGarini happy both!
And *ANOTHER* 12/12 here.
Wonderfully informative! Glad I watched. Loved her as "Blossom" so has a wonderful personality
I have been looking for a video about holidays and humor, and this one's perfect. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I learned a lot! Happy Hanukkah!
I love you Mayim!!! You are my hero!!! Happy Chanukah!!!!
Thank you for explaining this. I never heard it explained before. I love the way you share your life with us! 🕎
Thank you Mayim so much! When you speak about our holiday it just gives me a special feeling inside :) So thank you for talking and teaching about Hanukkah
חג חנוכה שמח! - Happy Hanukkah
I love mayim. She is so funny and I'd love to have a Jewish holiday she makes them sound really interesting and exciting
Anna Williams They are. My opinion from Israel ;)
Funny we were talking about how much we would love to celebrate Christmas!! We just made our vlog about Hanukkah in Israel and we would really appreciate it if you could watch :) ua-cam.com/video/UzcCMktvuiQ/v-deo.html Thank you so much!! And Happy hollidays :)
I learned that Hanukkah is a minor holiday. During major holidays you can't drive a car, write, etc. But because it is a minor holiday you can do all of these.
Thank u for making this fun but I formative video. It was VERY helpful to me. I know u from both shows & liked u on both. Ur energy is awesome! Happy Hannukah!
I work in a Jewish school at lunch times and what you explained in your video has told me a lot about the religion. Thank you Mayim
So much fun! Sign me up for the oily food goodness!!!
Whats In My Life 2017 6
Great video.
One of the doughnut shops here in Washington makes sufganiyot instead of just jelly doughnuts. So good. [Burp] And such a wonderful observance for us diabetics.
A coworker once asked me the significance of the chocolate coins I was sharing one year. I had to tell her there really isn't any. She became angry, thinking perhaps that I didn't want to share with her the deep meaning. Such is life.
Chanukkah sameach!
I love your enthusiasm and the way you explain everything. Thank you for being awesome!
I showed this to all my classes as a k-5 music teacher and they absolutely loved learning about a new holiday! Happy Birthday btw
trick questions in the pop Hanukkah quiz, you like to keep us on our toes
This was a very interesting and fun video. I had always thought that Hanukkah was a big holiday, but it turns out that it is a minor holiday. On major holidays, they refrain from using things like electricity or driving cars, but that doesn't happen on Hanukkah. I also learned that oily foods such as latkes and donuts are eaten on this holiday.
I just watched your educational video about Hanukkah, and just want to say you are amazing! I learned sooo much! Thank you!
Thanks a lot, Miss Mayim! This video was totally informative in a fun way to remove all the shrouds of ambiguity. Keep rocking! ✌️
I grew up in a Christian family and now I want to start collecting dreidels. Great and educational video.
I grew up with a Jewish mother and a Catholic father. My father had his traditions and my mother had her traditions, their kids learned much about both religions. We lived with a very enriched household, except for the yelling in the house! LOL!
My girlfriend is co president of Hillel at my college, always looking to break even and learn some things. Thanks!
Wow! I learned a ton of info on this holiday! Thank you for updating us!!
Hey Mayim - lots of respest for the factual accuracy and of course for presentation, which is light (pun) and informative for those who never knew these facts. Special respect for your cuntinuing, open and genuine expression of support for Israel, my sister
On your Birthday!? Cool!!
Happy Hanukkah Mayin Bialik!
It's interesting learning that much about Hanukkah & about what you believe in.
Thank you for showing us these things.
Happy Hanukkah or merry Christmas oder whatever everyone!
One of the most entertaining videos I seen. Thanks for teaching me about something that I've always been curious about.
This video is so informative and so much fun. ❤️ it.
חג שמח ומזל טוב💐
I used this video to teach my 7th and 8th grade class about Hanukkah! Thank you! I learned so much from this video and I know they did too! I also love how fun it was!
I still remember all these facts from learning about them at high school. Great video Mayim! :)
Hi! You are amazing!
I’m a Jew, and I live in Israel. I appreciate you SO MUCH for doing what you’re doing.
You are incredible, Mayim.
By the way, my name’s is Maya, which means water which in Hebrew it’s mayim, so basically we share a name.
Ignore me, I love you.
Thank you for doing what you doing!!!
Hanukkah sameach!! (Happy Hanukkah)
Maya Sadeh מאיה זה לא אומר מים בעברית שקרנית לול😂
COMEDY TOWN מאיה זה מים בארמית
Mayim is actually Yiddish, not Hebrew.
@@jocelynmcelroy3034 I'm Israeli and Mayim is water in HEBREW, maybe it's also in Yiddish, but it's definitely water in hebrew.
All my love to all my Jewish Brothers and Sisters! ❤️… you forgot “Happy Solstice” 🤗 😉😂
Funny, informative and very uplifting. Just what we all need right now. Thank you Mayim.
I am so enjoying learning more about you through your amazing videos. You are just a delight.
HAPPY HANUKKAH!
happy birthday!
Love this video! Thanks Mayim, you have such great and positive energy! Happy Hanukkah!
FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US! :D Love that you referenced that. Thanks for the information. I've always wanted to learn more about Hannukkah but ... didn't actually like try to learn anything or look up information ever.... so.... THANKS! :D
and Tomorrow is Rohatsu :) A Buddhist holiday celebrating the Enlightenment of Lord Shakyamuni Butsu (Gautama Buddha), i hope you find Christmas as annoying as i do lol
Geoffrey Stewart I wouldn't mind being one of "those people" and just celebrate Christmas on just Christmas day. Just... I've three parties next week, out of town, all with white elephant games. Too much, bro! Too much. Enjoy your Buddhist holiday.
deekat3279 White Elephant is a gift giving game. All the participants bring a gift -most WE games have a criteria of what kind of gift to bring, like price range or theme. All the gifts are wrapped, have no tags on them, and are placed in a pile. All players blindly draw lots to see who goes first, all the way to who plays last. At a turn, a player grabs a gift from the pile and owns to see what they get. However, a player can also choose to take whatever gift opened by another player, keeping the gift for themself. An open gift can be taken three times. At the third time, the gift is "frozen", meaning it cannot be taken again. Once the last gift is open, the game ends, and everyone keeps what they opened or took. It is fun a fun game; it's just three in one weekend feels a bit much. Hope they don't mind I might just bring a wrapped bag of sweets.
Don’t forget HAPPY SATURNALIA!!!! #ItsASaturnaliaMiracle!!!
Love Bialik's education. Thank you so much for your selflessness. I learn so much from you. God bless you always.
Can I just say how great your energy is in this video! Really enjoyed this :)
You're adorable. Thank you for schooling me on Hanukkah. :-)
חנוכה שמח!
Elad Noy איזו מדהימה היא, הא?
לגמרי :)
A Couple of Dreams חחח אני בטוח שאת מסוג האנשים שכל משפט שני שלהם זה ״אני אטאיסטית״ רדודה ביותר
Thank you you for explaining the Jewish Holidays, I've always wondered about them, They sounds Wonderful.Happy Hanukah.. I enjoy your video's. .
I love this video. I've never known really the ins and outs of Hanukkah- thanks!!!
I'm not Hebrew and I don't follow the religion of Judaism but one year, about the time other people started asking, "Are you ready for Christmas?" I started replying, "Are you ready for Hanukkah?"
One of my co-workers snarled, "NO! I'm not Jewish!"
Well, it seems to me that it would be enormously helpful if people would learn some things about other beliefs and practices than their parents'. So I keep spitting into the wind. Thanks for raising awareness.
P.S. The co-worker in question later apologized for her retort.
כל הכבוד מים!!!!!
Rashi Rosenzweig היא מדהימה הא?
נהדרת!!
לגמרי
וואו סוף סוף עברית! והיא אכן אדירה! יפה, חכמה, מוכשרת ונחמדה, והיא משחקת טוב אני פשוט אוהבת אותה ♥
Dana Tov אני מסכים ב100%
You’re awesome Mayim! Your joy is contagious (as joy should be).
Finding light in the darkness is one of the closest ideas to Christianity 😄 Yeshua is the Light of the world... and as for that oil that lasted 8 days .. Yeshuas Father did that!! Love my Hebrew family were all one in Messiah🙌🏽 you’ll see💕💕💕💕💕💕😄
I hate Hanukkah as much as she hates Thanksgiving
L Antsen why??
You are an amazing person, Mayim Bialik. Thank you for this wonderful explanation of Hanukkah.
And because Christians "believe" Jesus is the son of God...hilarious.
Thank you for this fun way of sharing Hanukkah information and happy birthday to you, Mayim.
I LOVE your channel! I also just sen a lifetime movie you were in and I was so rooting for your character! I believe the movie was released in 2015. You RULE!!!!
Thank you so much for clearing that up for me! You Rock Mayim!
aaand Happy Hanukkah and Happy Birthday too!!
Wow... You are great!!! That was so easy and clear. Thank you so much now I truly understand want it is about !
Love your videos and learned some things with this one. Great energy and you make it look so easy (which I am sure it is not) Happy Chanukah Mayim Bialik!
I love watching your clips. You always make me laugh as well as educate me. Love it 🥰
First time I got to learn a little something about Hanukkah! Thanks for that awesome video and happy Hanukkah, Mayim 🕎
Mayim, thanks so much for the lesson. I loved! Happy hanukkah
