From menorahs to dreidels and all the potato latkes in-between, here is what you need to know about Hanukkah.
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that lasts for eight nights, usually in November or December. This year, it begins at sundown on Sunday, Dec. 18, and ends Monday, Dec. 26.
Many people might not know the rich history and tradition that goes along with the Jewish festival. Here is what you need to know about Hanukkah.Hanukkah starts on the 25th of Kislev, a month in the Hebrew calendar that usually falls within November or December. Also known as the Festival of Lights or the Feast of Dedication, the holiday celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Maccabean revolt against the Syrian-Greek army.
Aside from lighting the menorah, other Hanukkah celebrations have become popular in recent years. Many families will give out presents during Hanukkah, usually with one given each night of the holiday. A game of dreidel, a spinning top inscribed with Hebrew letters, is a common way to celebrate the holiday. Additionally, followers may cook traditional Hanukkah dishes like potato latkes or Sufganiyot, a donut filled with strawberry jelly.
