RHYMING RIDDLES

1. I’m sweet and round, coming to a boil, in a pot of bubbling oil.

2. I’m a small town near Jerusalem. The Hasmoneans lived here – Mattityahu and his five sons, who fought the Greeks with no fear!

3. I have eight plus one, to remember the battle that we won.

4. I’m made from olives. I come out when they are pressed. You can burn me for light. Who am I? Have you guessed?

5. I get dizzy when you give me a spin. It’s all about the Ḥanukka gelt you’re trying to win.

6. I’m here to serve others. Eight friends get light from me. You’ll see me every night of Ḥanukka. Can you guess who I might be?

7. I’m fried in oil and very yummy. With sour cream or applesauce, I’ll fill your tummy.

8. Our brave soldiers fought without glamour. Our fearless leader was nicknamed “Hammer”!
