8 Chanukah lessons -- both serious and frivolous
Do the right thing -- even if it seems hopeless.
A femme fatale is an army's best asset
Flatter a man's vanity, and he's bound to lose his head.
You snooze, you lose.
Bemakom she'eyn anashim, hishtadel lihiyos ish [in a place where there are no men, try to be a man (Avos 2:6).] applies to women, as well.
You win some, you lose some, but you still have to play -- dreidel.
You don't have to be Jewish to love latkes.
Carpe Diem -- doughnuts taste best fresh.

>>>Bemakom she'eyn ish, hishtadel lihiyos ish applies to women, as well.

>>>Do the right thing -- even if it seems hopeless.

But I think the af hen hayu beotho hanes technically applied to Yehudith's bringing about the victory in battle.
