Haunaka, often referred to as Hanukkah, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the second century BCE, following the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. It celebrates the miracle of the oil, where a small quantity of oil meant to last for one day miraculously burned for eight days, allowing the rededication to be completed. The festival is marked by lighting the menorah, spinning dreidels, and enjoying traditional foods.
