Holidays - Hanukkah

   
Hanukkah in our homes can warm our hearts during the cold days of December. Each night we light the Hanukkah menorah (hanukiyah) and sing Hanukkah songs. In remembrance of the miraculous oil which lasted for eight days, we eat foods which are fried in oil such as latkes. In Israel today, another popular food is jelly donuts (sufganiyot). We can also enhanse our celebration by playing dreidle with family and friends, making our own hanukiyah, and decorating our homes with Hanukkah symbols.
