Hanukkah/Chanukah
Interfaith & Cultural Holidays
Hanukkah is the Jewish festival of lights, and lasts for eight nights. Hanukkah commemorates the Jewish struggle for religious freedom. The history of the holiday involves a historic military victory in which a Jewish sect called the Maccabees defeated the Syrian Greeks. The celebration commemorates a miracle in which a sacred temple flame burned for eight days on only one day’s worth of oil. On each of the eight nights of Hanukkah, Jewish families light an additional candle of the menorah (hanukkiah) until all eight candles are lit. Jews celebrate with fried food such as potato latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts) and song, as well as exchanging gifts for eight nights.
Recognized by: Jewish
Requested Accommodations: Provide food accommodation as requested (kosher restrictions apply—potato pancakes, doughnuts or other fried food is customary).
