Hanukkah: The Festival of Lights

Hanukkah, the festival of lights, is a Jewish holiday celebrated over eight nights, commemorating the Temples rededication. The menorah, a nine-branched candelabra, is lit nightly, symbolizing light triumphing over darkness. Hanukkah begins on the twenty-fifth of Kislev, usually in late November or December. Despite not being a major holiday, it has gained cultural significance, often coinciding with Christmas. Traditions include lighting the menorah, giving to charity, and engaging in social works, emphasizing the power of small efforts to bring transformative change. DNN | The Daily News Now!
