About Hanukkah
Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, remembers the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of oil that burned for eight nights.
Each evening, families light one more candle on the menorah, say blessings, eat foods fried in oil like latkes and sufganiyot, and play dreidel.
Also called: Chanukah, Festival of Lights.
