About Hanukkah
Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, lasts eight nights. It remembers the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BC. It begins on the 25th of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, which usually falls in late November or December.
Like all Jewish holidays, it begins at sundown on the evening before the first day. Each night another candle is lit on the menorah, and families share fried foods such as latkes and doughnuts.
