Jewish people.
Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days.
Hanukkah is the Jewish holiday known as the Festival of Lights, and it is celebrated in December. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and is observed by lighting the menorah, eating fried foods, and playing dreidel.
Any similarity would be the result of Christmas influencing Hanukkah. Because Christmas is such a big holiday, certain practices were borrowed by some Jews to celebrate Hanukkah, such as gift-giving and some decorating.But the traditional practice of Hanukkah has nothing in common with Christmas.It should be noted that Hanukkah as it is observed by Orthodox Jews is not influenced by Christmas at all.
It is one of the longest Jewish holidays, but some other religions have longer holidays, such as Ramadan, which is observed by Muslims.
Generally speaking, yes. There are some minute differences in interpretation of Hanukkah between Israeli Jews and American Jews, but there is really no difference in how the holiday is observed.
