Hanukkah is an eight-day religious Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah was instituted some 2200 years ago.
Kwanzaa is a week-long secular celebration held in the United States honoring African heritage and culture, marked by participants lighting a kinara (candle holder). Kwanzaa was first held in 1966.
Besides falling at a similar time of the year and both including the practice of lighting candles, they are not related. However, some critics claim that Kwanzaa imitates Hanukkah.
