We have an 8-night celebration and eat traditional foods called potato latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). Each night we light a candle on our channukiahs (Hanukkah-menorahs) until there are a total of 9 candles on the final night. Some families (mainly in North America) give one present for each of the eight nights and usually play a game of dreidle (a dreidle is like a spinning top with Hebrew letters on the side). There are also special blessings, prayers and Torah-readings during Hanukkah.
