Known also as the Festival of Dedication, as well as the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah is a major Jewish holiday commemorating the re-dedication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem by the Maccabees. Hanukkah (also Romanized as Chanukah) is celebrated annually for 8 days and nights, usually between late November and late December. Traditionally, the lighting of a special menorah, the eating of fried foods, and playing a symbolic game take place during Hanukkah to celebrate the curious ’Miracle of Oil’.
