In this humorous, informal video (05:58), actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik presents a short true or false quiz to clear up some misconceptions about the Jewish holiday of Hannukah. Bialik explains the basic historical origins, themes, religious rituals, and traditional foods of Hannukah and, through a comparison with Christmas, emphasizes the ancient roots and spiritual significance, as opposed to the modern commercialisation of the holiday.
