All Jewish holidays have symbols because Jews use them to remind themselves of the reasons for various aspects of the holiday.
The menorah and the dreidel.
There are many Hanukkah traditions that vary depending on how religious the family partaking in this Jewish holiday is. One of the universal symbols of Hanukkah is the lighting of the Menorah, often recognized by its 8 or 9 candle holders. Another recognizable tradition would be the Dreidel game, the eating of latkes (potato pancakes), and giving Hanukkah-gelt (coins) to one's children.
Both Kwanzaa and Hanukkah feature symbols that emphasize community and celebration. For Kwanzaa, the kinara (candle holder) represents the seven principles of Kwanzaa, while Hanukkah's menorah symbolizes the miracle of the oil and the Jewish faith. Both holidays involve lighting candles to mark the days of celebration, fostering unity and reflection within their respective communities. Additionally, both holidays include special foods that hold cultural significance, further emphasizing their communal aspects.
