10 surprising facts you didn't know about Hanukkah
[sufganiyot] * Hanukkah means "dedication" in Hebrew, and the holiday commemorates the rededication of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem in 164 BCE. * Hanukkah usually takes place in December, but the dates change every year since Jewish holidays follow a lunar calendar. * The National Menorah lit in Washington, DC, is 30 feet tall and requires a lift from a cherry picker to light. * Visit Insider's homepage for more stories. The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, celebrates the victory of a small group of Jewish rebels over an enormous Greek army to defend their heritage, and a miraculously long-lasting flame that continues to serve as a symbol of hope and perseverance. According to tradition, while the Jews were living under the Greek empire around 167 BCE, King Antiochus IV outlawed Judaism and desecrated the Holy Temple that stood in Jerusalem. A small Jewish army called the Maccabees led a rebellion against the Greeks and won. When they returned to the Temple to relight the ritual menorah (candelabra), they only found enough oil to last one day, but it miraculously lasted eight. Jewish people commemorate the Maccabees' victory and the miracle of the oil by lighting a menorah for eight nights and eating fried foods. Hanukkah is one of the most famous holidays in the Jewish calendar, but here are 10 facts about the Festival of Lights that you may not have known. HANUKKAH MEANS "DEDICATION" IN HEBREW. Rafiq Maqbool/AP The holiday commemorates the rededication of the ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem after a small Jewish army called the Maccabees reclaimed it from the Greek leader Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 164 BCE. HANUKKAH IS NOT A MAJOR RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY IN THE JEWISH CALENDAR. Ronen Zvulun/Reuters The Books of the Maccabees are not included in the Jewish biblical canon, and the Babylonian Talmud offers only a brief explanation of the holiday's origins, citing the miracle of the oil lasting for eight days. Other lesser-known biblical Jewish holidays, such as Sukkot and Shavuot, carry much more religious significance than Hanukkah. But because of its proximity to Christmas, Hanukkah became absorbed into the widespread culture of gift-giving and holiday cheer. HANUKKAH USUALLY TAKES PLACE IN DECEMBER, BUT THE DATES CHANGE EVERY YEAR. CTK, Michal Kamaryt/AP Hanukkah begins on the 25th of the Hebrew lunar month of Kislev every year, but the date in the Gregorian calendar varies. The lunar calendar is shorter than the solar one, so an extra month is added to the Jewish calendar every two to three years to keep the holidays within certain agricultural seasons and times of year.

A Michigan family of 4 took a $6,000 vacation to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico and only spent $300 on the whole trip - here's how they were able to do it
[IMG_1178 copy]Andy Hill * ANDY AND NICOLE HILL, A COUPLE FROM MICHIGAN WITH TWO CHILDREN, TOOK THEIR FAMILY TO AN ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORT IN SAN JOSÉ DEL CABO, MEXICO, FOR FIVE NIGHTS AND SIX DAYS. * THE TRIP COST THEM JUST $329 DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY SPENT 10 MONTHS COLLECTING NEARLY $6,000 WORTH OF CREDIT CARD POINTS. * Andy and Nicole have always been smart spenders and savers. In fact, Andy has his own blog and podcast where he discusses — along with other topics — strategies for saving money and building wealth. * VISIT BUSINESS INSIDER'S HOMEPAGE FOR MORE STORIES. In 2018, Andy Hill and his wife Nicole took their two children to an all-inclusive resort in San José del Cabo, Mexico for five nights and six days. Though the trip was valued at around $6,000, the Michigan family spent just $329 on the entire vacation — food, flights, hotel, and a spa day included. Andy and Nicole have always been smart spenders and savers. In fact, Andy has his own blog and podcast where he discusses — along with other topics — strategies for saving money and building wealth. In order to plan a memorable vacation without dishing out thousands of dollars, the couple dove into the world of credit card points. Keep reading for a breakdown that shows how, exactly, they did it. WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONAL FINANCES, ANDY AND NICOLE ARE NO STRANGERS TO NUMBER CRUNCHING. Courtesy of Andy Hill In 2013, the couple bought a $350,000, four-bedroom house by putting down $155,000 and taking out a $195,000 mortgage. At the time, Andy was (and still is) a sales director. Nicole became a stay-at-home parent shortly after the moved. Andy told Business Insider that while they settled on a 15-year mortgage with a 3% interest rate, they set a goal to pay the whole thing off in less than five years. By increasing their income, decreasing their expenses, staying organized, and cutting down on non-essential spending, they were able to pay it off in just under four years. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY PAYING OFF THEIR NEARLY $200,000 MORTGAGE IN LESS THAN FOUR YEARS, THE COUPLE DECIDED TO GO ON THEIR FIRST FAMILY VACATION. Courtesy of Andy Hill The couple and their two children went to an all-inclusive resort in San José del Cabo, Mexico, for five nights and six days. "The kids played all day with us in the family-friendly pool and met new friends in the kid's club. Nicole and I enjoyed exercising in the fitness center in the mornings, laying out in the pool cabanas during the day and eating at a different on-campus restaurant each night. We didn't even care if the kids ate all of their food because it was all-inclusive," Andy wrote in a blog post. THE FAMILY STAYED AT THE PARADISUS LOS CABOS, WHERE RATES START AT $314 PER NIGHT. IF THEY'D TAKEN A LESS SAVINGS-ORIENTED APPROACH TO THE TRIP, THEIR FIVE-NIGHT STAY ALONE COULD HAVE COST AROUND $1,570. BUT INSTEAD, THE ENTIRE TRIP COST THEM JUST $329. wwing/Getty Images The expenses, Andy told Business Insider, were divided three ways: * $125 for tips * $95 to pay an annual credit card fee * $109 for food during travel days SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER SEE ALSO: * I visited the glittering Greek island of Mykonos, the summer destination of choice for billionaires — and it's a very different experience if you aren't swimming in money * A hedge-fund exec just dropped $95 million on a Billionaires' Row penthouse in NYC. Here are the other wealthy buyers in the building, from Ken Griffin to a Brazilian heiress. * Meet Tadashi Yanai, the richest person in Japan and the founder of Uniqlo, who's worth $31 billion and owns 2 golf courses in Hawaii SEE ALSO: A MICHIGAN COUPLE PAID OFF THEIR $200,000 MORTGAGE IN LESS THAN 4 YEARS ON A COMBINED SALARY OF $150,000.

US stocks near all-time highs has traders talking about a 'gamma flip' - and what might happen if things turn bad
[FIG Artistic Gymnastics Championships - Day 10 Jin Zhang of China during Balance Beam for Women at the Aspire Dome in Doha, Qatar, Artistic FIG Gymnastics World Championships on 3 of November 2018. (Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images)]Getty Images / NurPhoto / Contributor * BLUNTLY, GAMMA IS THE FIRST DERIVATIVE OF THE OPTION DELTA AND DESCRIBES THE SENSITIVITY OF THE DELTA IN RELATION TO PRICE MOVEMENTS OF THE UNDERLYING SECURITY. * A FLIP IS THE TRANSITION FROM A PRIOR (IN THIS CASE POSITIVE) STATE, TO ITS OPPOSITE (NOW NEGATIVE) STATE. * BASICALLY, IT'S THE POINT IN THE MARKET WHERE YOU WANT TO STEP BACK AND WAIT UNTIL THE FORCES OF GOOD AND EVIL HAVE BATTLED IT OUT AND MORE SANE EXPLANATIONS COME INTO PLAY. * THORSTEN ROLAND WEGENER SPENT 20 YEARS TRADING EQUITY DERIVATIVES AND WAS A PARTNER AT BEAR STEARNS. READ HIS ORIGINAL COLUMN ON MACRO HIVE HERE. * VISIT BUSINESS INSIDER FOR MORE STORIES. ------------------------- There is a new buzzword in town: 'Gamma Flip'. It is used to explain (due to a lack of any _sane_ explanation for current market behaviour) why the S&P seems stuck at practically all-time highs and what might happen if things turn bad. In fact, it is so hot that even TV pundits are elaborating on its potential advantages and dangers. But what exactly is it? LEARNING GREEK Gamma as a _thing_ has been around since traders began to use options to hedge, speculate, and mitigate risk. But it was not until the shiny Black-Scholes model emerged in the '70s that anyone knew what to call it. Bluntly, gamma is the first derivative of the option delta and describes the sensitivity of the delta in relation to price movements of the underlying security. A flip is the transition from a prior (in this case positive) state, to its opposite (now negative) state. For many that's hardly an eloquent answer, nor even a particularly explanatory one. Of course, there is a far easier way of describing gamma (and the potential flip it implies), but to reveal it would rob derivatives experts of their inordinately rotund paycheques… Luckily for you, nobody is paying me to be pretentious anymore.SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDERNOW WATCH: A big-money investor in juggernauts like Facebook and Netflix breaks down the '3rd wave' firms that are leading the next round of tech disruption SEE ALSO: * All the 'Star Wars' movies, ranked from worst to best — including 'Rise of Skywalker' * The one word you should strike from your vocabulary stat to sound more confident * GOLDMAN SACHS: These 20 unloved stocks are spring-loaded for surprisingly big gains in 2020
