About Hanukkah 2026
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish festival commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE. According to tradition, when the Maccabees reclaimed the temple, they found only enough consecrated oil to light the menorah for one day, but it miraculously burned for eight days. The holiday is celebrated by lighting the menorah each night, playing dreidel, eating oil-based foods like latkes and sufganiyot, and giving gifts. It typically falls in late November or December.
