About Hanukkah
Hanukkah commemorates the freedom that the Maccabees fought to preserve nearly 2,000 years ago. It is a winter festival of light that is observed by Jews around the world who gather with family and friends to light a Hanukkah menorah (hanukkiah) for eight nights—bringing more light into the world during the darkest season of the year.
