There will be feasting and dancing in Jerusalem next year

It is the first night of Hanukkah.

I move out of my apartment tomorrow.

I feel like the Babylonian Exile.

Happy Hanukkah!

Are you moving far, or only within the vicinity?

I hope the move goes well, in any event.

And that you cease feeling exiled soon. (Would it be helpful to wish for the defeat of the Assyrians?)

Fair enough.

And besides, I shouldn't have done them the disservice of getting them backwards with the Babylonians, no?

Just tell yourself it's all Akkadian and no one will be offended.
