What
is Hanukkah?
Hanukkah
is the eight-day religious holiday celebrated by people of Jewish faith.
A small band of Jews triumphed in a struggle to preserve their heritage.
Hanukkah
means rededication and the symbols and rituals of the holiday demonstrate
an annual renewal of Jewish faith and practices. The story can be found
in
the Second Book of Macabees, the last historical book of the Old Testament.
