Hanukkah in France - Interview with Dominique Weiner

Our Holidays in France series continues with a special interview with or entretien avec Dominique Weiner. I am just tickled to have had the opportunity to speak with Dominique. She is a lovely human, an excellent French interpreter, and a friend, but a long-distance one that I do not know as well as I would like. Despite this, (malgré cela) she was kind enough to open up on a topic that is very private for much of the population in France, religion and her own Jewish traditions. Presenting...Hanukkah in France in the middle of a country celebrating Christmas. Merci, Dominique! who can be found on Linked In under: Dominique Stora-Weiner. French from today's show: Un cadeau de fin d'année (an end of the year gift, used in France rather than "a gift for Hanukkah") Bonne fête! (Happy holiday!)  Bonne année! (Happy New Year!) Hebrew from today:  חַג חֲנֻכָּה שָׂמֵחַ Happy Hanukkah!  As always, check out our lessons for families: French with kids.
