Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days, despite there being only enough for one. It typically falls in late November to late December and is marked by lighting the menorah, playing games, and enjoying traditional foods like latkes and sufganiyot. This holiday emphasizes themes of resilience, faith, and the importance of religious freedom.
