What Is Chanukah?
Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah) is an eight-day Jewish holiday. It is most commonly known as the Festival of Lights. The holiday marks the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago.
Jewish tradition tells us that a small amount of oil that should have lasted only one day burned for eight days. This is celebrated by lighting a menorah, also known as a hanukkiah, for the eight nites of Chanukah.
