What is the story of Hanukkah?

Posted on by Connell

The Story of Hanukkah is one of the most exciting tales that comes from ancient Jewish texts. It’s not that widely observed in Israel itself and it’s certainly not as important as Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah or the Passover. However, in the global Jewish community it has been picked up as a way of celebrating the faith from afar. It also coincides with Christmas time and as many Jewish communities are in mainly Christian countries it’s a great way for there to be some crossover. One of the most famous examples of this is the episode of Friends where Ross dresses up as a Holiday Armadillo. Armadillos have nothing to do with the story of Hanukkah but it shows how important they are to the community. Hanukkah Candles are central to the celebration.

Is it harder to commit Fraud now?

Posted on by Connell

The increase in cases of Fraud in the UK is always a cause for concern. Some in society will always look to try and separate us from our hard-earned money and they will try increasingly ingenious ways to do it. One of the most common types is money laundering. This is when ill-gotten gains from theft either of property that has been “fenced” for the cash, or directly out of someone’s account, are then put back into a legitimate account to make the money look “clean”.
