What is Hanukkah?
Hanukkah (sometimes spelled Chanukah in Hebrew) is a very special Jewish celebration known as the Festival of Lights.
The word Hanukkah means “dedication,” and it remembers one of the greatest miracles in Jewish history. Families light candles on a special nine‑branched lamp called a menorah, adding one candle each night until all eight are glowing brightly.
Hanukkah lasts for eight days, and although the exact dates change every year, it always takes place in winter — in November or December.
