The Hanukkah celebration takes place in the home where the hanukiyah (menorah) is lit and placed in a window so that passers-by will see it and be reminded of the miracle that took place when the Maccabees' lamp oil lasted for eight days following the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem rather than just one day.
In addition the menorah, Hanukkah is marked by the saying of special additions to daily prayers, playing dreidel (a game involving a spinning top), Hanukkah songs and the giving of Hanukkah Gelt (gifts, traditionally small sums of money to children). Certain foods, such as latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (doughnuts), are associated with the festival and will be eaten at this time.
