    What Is Hanukkah?

    Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish celebration. It is also known as the Festival of Lights. The holiday season typically occurs in December. It is a festival of Re-dedication of the holy temple in Jerusalem by the Maccabees after its desecration by the Syrians.

    How to celebrate Hanukkah?

    The celebration of Hanukkah centers around the lighting of the menorah or hanukiah. A Hanukkah menorah is a candelabrum with eight branches.

    Typically on a ninth branch, the raised lamp. This is set apart from the others. This light is used to light the other lights each night of the celebration.

    The foods that are traditionally served at Hanukkah are typically all fried in oil. Some traditional Hanukkah recipes include potato latkes, smoked salmon, short ribs, jelly-filled doughnuts, egg noodles, brussels sprouts, and potato kugel. If you've never tried crispy latkes with sour cream, you are seriously missing out!
