Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish celebration commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It honors the miracle of the temple’s menorah burning for eight days with only a single day’s supply of oil. During Hanukkah, families light the menorah, recite special prayers, and enjoy traditional foods such as latkes and sufganiyot. This joyous holiday also includes games, gifts, and gatherings, emphasizing themes of faith, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness.
