2. Chanukah is pronounced ‘Hanukah’ with a guttural sound for the ‘H’ and is the Jewish festival of light. It commemorates the recovery of Jerusalem and subsequent rededication of the second temple in the 2nd century BCE. Each year, it is celebrated at a different time following the Hebrew calendar, anytime from late November to late December and goes for eight days. The festival is observed by lighting the candles in a menorah or hanukkiah with space for nine candles. Each night, the shamash (helper candle) is lit and lights one additional candle until all eight candles are lit together on the final night of the festival. There is also a custom of eating foods fried or baked in oil such as latkes (potato pancakes) and doughnuts to commemorate the miracle of a small flask of oil keeping the second temple's menorah alight for eight days. Other festivities include singing Chanukah songs and playing the dreidl game. About Chanukah © www.welcometomusic.net Susie Davies-Splitter & Phil Splitter
