What is haunnaka?

Answer 1

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the second century BCE. It celebrates the miracle of the oil, where a small amount of oil, enough to last one day, miraculously burned for eight days in the temple's menorah. Traditions include lighting the menorah, playing dreidel, and eating foods fried in oil, such as latkes and sufganiyot. Hanukkah typically falls in late November to late December, depending on the Hebrew calendar.
