Chanukah or Hanukkah, commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after a group of Jewish warriors defeated the occupying mighty Greek armies. Light Over Darkness. Chanukah is celebrated by lighting an 8 branched candelabra, eating potato pancakes (called 'Latkes'), chocolate coins and jelly-filled doughnuts. It is also a time when we play dreidel (a popular top game) and sing popular Chanukah songs like "Maotz Tzur" and "Chanukah Oh Chanukah, Come Light the Menorah…" Chanukah is a joyous winter holiday.
Purim - This lively and colorful holiday celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from the wicked Haman in the days of Queen Esther of Persia. Children have a custom of dressing up in colorful costumes and people of all ages exchanges food baskets (filled with nuts, fruits and wine) amongst family and friends.
Passover - The Jewish Festival of Liberation. Passover (Pesach) celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. The holiday is celebrated at a 'Seder' feast, where four cups of wine are poured and drunk while telling over the story of Jewish delivery from Egyptian slavery. We also cut out bread from our diets (for about a week), and replace it with a cracker-like flat bread called 'Matzah'. Passover is a spring time holiday.
Tu B'Shevat or The New Year for Trees. Celebrated in early spring, on the 15th of Shevat on the Jewish calendar, is the day that marks the beginning of a "New Year for Trees." There is a custom to eat rare or tropical fruits on this day.
