What is haunuka?

Answer 1

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that commemorates 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 for one day, lasted 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.
