Hello zahavasdad,
I hope all is well with you 🙂 I have been considering going to a Chanuka party, but I am trying to get over being shy or embarrassed in person about sticking out like a sore thumb due to my lack of knowledge regarding customs etc. I’m sure that sounds silly but I worry about being conspicuous. I am the kind of person who tends to feel out-of-place at large social gatherings, even when I am completely familiar with what’s going on…one might say that I’m a wall-flower. This is a part of my personality that I struggle with all the time. And I’m sure that the people would be very welcoming, so I am not sure why I am so timid.
