Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate the Festival of Lights

To those who celebrate, Wishing you many blessings and much joy.  

Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights, the holiday that commemorates 

the rededication of the Jewish temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE.

To all my dear friends who celebrate the 8 days

 of the Festival of Lights, Happy Hanukkah!

Hanukkah , in Judaism, the Festival of Lights, the Feast of Consecration, or the Feast of the Maccabees; also transliterated Chanukah. According to tradition, it was instituted by Judas Maccabeus and his brothers in 165 B.C. to celebrate the dedication of the new altar in the Temple at Jerusalem. The festival occurs in December near the time of the winter solstice, as does Christmas, and lasts eight days. Hanukkah later came to be linked also with a miraculous cruse of oil that burned for eight days, leading to the practice of lighting special Hanukkah candles, one the first evening, two the second, and so on. The eight-branched candlestand (menorah) used in that ceremony is a frequent symbol for the holiday.
