Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, is an eight day Jewish holiday that commemorates the Maccabees’ successful fight for freedom from the Greek-Syrians. This holiday is celebrated by lighting a nine branched menorah in honor of the menorah that stayed lit in Jerusalem for eight days when there was only enough oil for one. During the eight days of Hanukkah, families and friends gather to celebrate, exchange gifts and play traditional games. The traditional foods for Hanukkah are fried in oil to commemorate the miracle of the oil that the Maccabees performed. It is a time of celebration, reflecting on the enduring power of freedom and faith. Whether you are a Jew or not, Hanukkah is a great opportunity to bring people together and make wonderful memories.
