Chang Hanukkah sameach! Happy Holidays 🙂
We have the privilege to learn and celebrate different holidays with those we care for! If given consent, we encourage you to ask questions and learn about these holidays that are important to those around us:)
The eight-day Jewish celebration known as Hanukkah or Chanukah commemorates the rededication during the second century B.C. of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt. Hanukkah is celebrated by playing dreidel, singing celebratory songs, exchanging gifts, making delicious Hanukkah recipes that remind us of the oil that burned for eight days at the temple in Jerusalem (jelly doughnuts called sufganiyot) and lighting candles while chanting specified blessings.
