What Is Hanukkah?

Hanukkah (Chanukah) is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights.” Noteworthy, Jews celebrate it with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers and fried foods.

The Hebrew word Chanukah means “dedication” and Jews gave it this name because it celebrates the rededication of their Holy Temple. Also, some spell it Hanukkah (or variations of that spelling). The Hebrew word is actually pronounced with a guttural, “kh” sound, kha-nu-kah, not tcha-new-kah.

Chanukah begins on the eve of Kislev 25 and continues for eight days. On the civil calendar, it generally coincides with the month of December.

More Details About Hanukkah:

In the second century BCE, the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) ruled the Holy Land. They tried to force the people of Israel to accept Greek culture and beliefs instead of mitzvah observance and belief in G‑d. Against all odds, a small band of faithful but poorly armed Jews, led by Judah the Maccabee, defeated one of the mightiest armies on earth, drove the Greeks from the land, reclaimed the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and rededicated it to the service of G‑d.

When they sought to light the Temple’s Menorah (the seven-branched candelabrum), they found only a single cruse of olive oil that had escaped contamination by the Greeks. Miraculously, they lit the menorah and the one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days, until new oil could be prepared under conditions of ritual purity.

To commemorate and publicize these miracles, the sages instituted the festival of Chanukah.

This Little Book Of Hanukkah by Steven Zorn makes a great collectible gift for yourself or someone you know.
