The Jewish holiday known as Hanukkah or Festival of Lights, began on December 10 and is celebrated by various celebrities, some of whom have shared photos and videos on social networks.
One of them is
Andy Cohen
, the host of 'Watch What Happens Live', who made sure to share his Jewish heritage with his son
Benjamin
, just 22 months old.
Through his account on Instagram, he published an image where he is seen hugging little Ben while holding one of the lit candles.
In this way, father and son came together in a beautiful moment to light the menorah on the first night of Hanukkah.
"Happy Hanukkah," Cohen wrote next to the emotional photo, which has so far achieved more than 165,000
likes
and thousands of comments from his followers.
Chrissy Teigen
and
John Legend
are another famous couple who shared part of this celebration.
The 35-year-old model learned how to make traditional Jewish dishes for her first Hanukkah night.
Additionally, the couple showed their
four-year-old
daughter
Luna
how to spin the dreidel.
Adeena
even led the family in a traditional song as they lit the first candle on their menorah.
Chrissy shared several Instagram videos showing how much fun her family had in celebrating their first Hanukkah.
It should be noted that Chrissy is working on her third cookbook with co-author
Adeena Sussman
, who introduced the Teigen-Legend family to the joys of Hanukkah.
Michael Bublé
also joined in this celebration, and although the Canadian singer is Catholic, he has fans all over the world and wanted to wish them a happy Hanukkah.
That is why on the first day of the holiday he turned to his Twitter account, where he has more than 2 million followers, to remember this Jewish holiday.
"Happy Hanukkah, my friends," wrote the interpreter on the social network.
For her part, the vice president-elect of the United States,
Kamala Harris
, shared a video on Instagram in which she appears celebrating Hanukkah with her husband,
Doug Emhoff
.
In the clip, Doug is heard saying that it is one of his favorite celebrations in his large modern family, which includes his adult children
Cole
and
Ella
.
"I love Hanukkah because it's really about light and bringing light to where there has been darkness," explained Kamala, while Doug added that the holiday is about "spreading joy around the world and sharing it with his family."
Then the couple lit the first candle on their menorah.
One of the stars of 'The Big Bang Theory', Mayim Bialik, took to YouTube to explain what Hanukkah is about in a video of more than 4 minutes.
In the clip, the 45-year-old actress explained why it is celebrated for 8 nights, what the dreidel means and many other aspects that surround this holiday.
It should be noted that in addition to being quite a screen celebrity, Mayim has a degree in Hebrew studies, and after learning about Judaism, she became an Orthodox Jew.
She has defined herself as a "staunch Zionist" and claims that it is very difficult to be an observant Jew in Hollywood.
Her religion defines, among other things, her outfits on the red carpets or even Amy's wardrobe in 'The Big Bang Theory'.
Diana Atri
, wife of
Joy Huerta
, also celebrated with her little daughter Noah, and shared that beautiful moment through her account on Instagram.
In the snapshot, both are seen during a video call in which they communicate with Diana's family, while her menorah can be seen in front of the screen.
