and this should help all those who celebrate Christmas understand more about Hanukkah. Or is it Channukah?

That was pretty cool. I noticed when I started learning Russian that the Russian "H" sound was often transliterated "ch" to show that it's a 'hard' h rather than the soft one we use in English. Of course that confuses everyone who isn't a linguist.
In Hebrew, the "H" sound is even harder and you can hear him clearing his throat when he pronounces it.
