Understanding the Festival of Lights
Hanukkah, also called the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish celebration commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It honors the triumph of faith and resilience, symbolized by the miracle of the oil, which lasted eight days despite being enough for just one.
When is Hanukkah Celebrated?
Hanukkah follows the Hebrew calendar, beginning on the 25th of Kislev and lasting eight nights. Each year the dates shift in November or December, creating a unique festive experience every year.
Traditional Hanukkah Practices
- Lighting the Menorah: One candle is lit each night, culminating in the nine-branched menorah ritual.
- Playing the Dreidel: A four-sided spinning top with Hebrew letters symbolizing “A great miracle happened there.”
- Enjoying Fried Foods: Potato latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) celebrate the miracle of the oil.
- Gifting and Charity: Acts of giving and generosity are central to the festival’s spirit.
