“Hanukkah?” Tony asked Ziva. “When’s that then?”
“It begins on the 25th of Kislev,” Ziva replied, smirking.
“Our calendar, please?” Tony chuckled.
“This year, the 11th December. Would you like to come to a traditional Hanukkah dinner, then?” she repeated her earlier question.
DiNozzo grinned.
“I wouldn’t say no for the world.”
The 11th of December arrived quickly.
“It begins today, when does it end?” Tony asked interestedly, as Ziva hadn’t chosen the 11th for their dinner.
“The 19th,” she replied, confusing Tony even more. “I’m at a celebration dinner with friends from synagogue then.”
For some strange reason he couldn’t understand, Anthony DiNozzo felt rather jealous of these ‘friends’.
Tony knocked on Ziva’s front door, and it only took her second to reach it and open it. Her face transformed into a bright smile when she saw her partner. “Shalom,” she greeted him.
“Ahalan,” he replied, and kissed her on the cheek before entering.
After Ziva had served the food - she announced that there were latkes, hamentashen and soup with matzo balls - they began to eat.
“These are good!” Tony exclaimed, “Did you make them?”
Ziva smiled at the compliment. “Yes, I did.”
As the sweet course, Ziva brought out a tray of sufganiyot, which to Tony looked exactly like donuts, but which Ziva informed him were traditional on Hanukkah in Israel.
Tony leaned back in his chair. “You’re an excellent cook,” he grinned at her. She smiled her thanks at him, and glanced out the window. It had been dark for a while.
“Would you like to help me light the menorah tonight?” she asked him. Tony smiled - he knew this was a traditional part of the holiday and he took the offer as a compliment.
“I’d love to.”
