BELIEVE IN MIRACLES
Hanukkah or Chanukkah, also known as The Festival of Lights, is one of the most beloved Jewish holidays, full of light and joy and family celebration. The eight-day Jewish celebration commemorates the rededication of the Second Holy Temple in Jerusalem (2nd century BCE) following a long revolt of the Jews, led by Judah Maccabee, against their Greek-Syrian oppressors.
According to legend, Judah Maccabee and the other Jews who took part in the rededication of the Second Temple witnessed what they believed to be a miracle. Even though there was only enough untainted olive oil to keep the Temple's 7 branched menorah’s candles burning for a single day, the flames continued flickering for eight nights, leaving them time to find a fresh supply. This wondrous event inspired the Jewish sages to proclaim a yearly eight-day festival, and the reason the Hanukkah Menorah (called Hanukkiah) has 8 branches. A 9th candle holder is for the Shamash, the designated helper candle.
Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December.
