Whoo hoo! Hanukkah is upon us - Wednesday, November 27. I think it's important for Christians to learn about Hanukkah - what better way than an awesome family movie night? Every year since its release in 2003, Disney Channel has played their original movie Full-Court Miracle during this great holiday. Inspired by true events, the film follows a losing Jewish basketball team and their journey looking for a coach. When they run into black basketball star Lamont Carr, the team convinces Lamont to coach them. As the kids learn about Hanukkah in school, a few of them are convinced that Lamont is Judah Maccabee, the man who started Hanukkah hundreds of years ago. :) What results is a great Disney film about faith tikva (hope) and teamwork.
It's fun, family-friendly, teaches about Hanukkah, and airs on Disney Channel Thursday November 28, at midnight EST, so be sure to record it on your DVR!
The only thing I don't like about this film is you cannot buy it on DVD - so be sure to record it! If you watch the film, let me know what you think!
