How Do People Celebrate Hanukkah?

Hanukkah is a special holiday filled with joy and traditions that many people cherish. Every year, families and friends gather to celebrate for eight days and nights.

One of the most iconic symbols of this holiday is the menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum. Every evening of Hanukkah, a candle is lit, bringing more light into the home as the days go by.

Singing songs and reciting prayers also play a big role in the festivities. A common song is 'Ma'oz Tzur,' which praises deliverance from hardship.

Another highlight is the spinning of the dreidel, a four-sided top with Hebrew letters. It's not only a game but also a reminder of the past when Jews would secretly study their teachings.

People make and enjoy delicious foods too, like latkes, crispy potato pancakes, and sufganiyot, sweet jelly-filled doughnuts.

Both are fried in oil, symbolizing the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. Gifts are often exchanged, and charity is given.

Above all, the essence of Hanukkah lies in spending quality time with loved ones and spreading light, joy, and peace.
