Hanukkah celebrations
Eight-night Jewish festival
The rituals and festivities of the eight-day Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem.
Hanukkah celebrations center on lighting the menorah, adding one candle each night.
Families gather for prayers, traditional foods like latkes and sufganiyot (fried in oil to recall the miracle), gift-giving, and games with the dreidel.
The whole neighborhood could see our Hanukkah celebrations through the window.
