Candles for Chanukah

Nathanael has been keeping surprisingly quiet here about his lovely series of Jewish history and culture-related posts for Chanukah, so I'll list them for you (and for him).

First Candle (crypto-Judaism in New Mexico and elsewhere)
Second Candle
Third Candle (Jews in 17th-century Dutch art and society)
Fourth Candle
(no 5th candle)
Sixth Candle (more on crypto-Judaism)
Seventh Candle
Eighth Candle

Happy Holidays...
