The Miracle of Chanukah
Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival
of lights, ” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting,
special prayers and fried foods. The Hebrew word
Chanukah means “dedication, ” and is thus named
because it celebrates the rededication of the Holy
Temple. Chanukah begins on the eve of Kislev 25
and continues for eight days.
