    the first 2 words mean Happy Chanukah but the last 4 is a fragment. it means “and there is to me for a new year” which completely does not make any sense.

  2. Jewish Girl891 said :

    sherminator is only partially correct. The first two words do mean happy Hanukkah however the rest means “and i have to a new year”

    the correct way to say it would be
    יש לך חנוכה שמח ושנה חדשה טובה

    the first two words are right for “Happy Hanukkah” but the end means “I have a new year.” I can’t type in hebrew on my computer but I can try for transliterations. the end should be “v’shanah chadasha tova”

    Everyone “above me” is correct. Sherminator is translating it literally, and the other two are translating it into the idiom.

    as the others have said, the beginning is, indeed, happy chanukah, and the end says i have a new year.

    the jewish new year isn’t in jaunary, it’s in the hebrew month which is generally in september/october. so, pairing the concept of happy chanukah and happy new year is … odd.

    the new year started several months ago,

    have a good day,
    happy holidays
