Hanukkah is a holiday for the Jewish religion. It is filled with candle lighting, fun Jewish games, and amazing food. Hanukkah starts Dec. 25, 2024 – Thursday Jan. 2, 2025.
The origin of Hanukkah:
“The origin of Hanukkah comes from events in second-century B.C.. According to legend, after driving out their Greek-Syrian oppressors from the Holy Temple, who had outlawed Judaism, the hero Judah Maccabee ordered the rededication of the temple and the lighting of the menorah. Although the Jewish people only had enough oil to keep the flame burning for a single day, miraculously, the flames lasted for eight nights. During this time, they were able to find other oil supplies, and were inspired to dedicate an eight-day festival in celebration of this holy miracle.”
Hanukkah is not just a holiday it is an incredible story that has been around for 2,000 years with approximately 15 million Jewish people in the world. This year instead of doing the same traditions that you normally would do try to put a little Hanukkah into your holiday too.
