Hanukkah dinner
Latkes and brisket
A Hanukkah dinner is a meal served during the eight-night Jewish festival of lights, typically featuring foods fried in oil—latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts)—commemorating the miracle of oil that burned for eight days.
Families gather, light the menorah, and eat together: We're hosting Hanukkah dinner on the third night this year.
