Hanukkah 2024 starts on Wednesday, December 25, at sunset and runs until Thursday, January 2, 2025. This eight-day Jewish festival, also called the Festival of Lights, is a reenactment of the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after the Jews defeated the Syrian-Greeks in 165 BCE. This holiday epitomizes the power of endurance, divine interference, and the unrelenting resilience of faith.
The most iconic tradition is the lighting of the menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum. Each night, an additional candle is lit using the shamash (the helper candle), with the final night featuring all eight candles burning bright. The menorah is often displayed in homes and public places. The festival also includes prayers, singing, playing dreidel (a traditional spinning top game), and enjoying festive foods such as latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (doughnuts), often fried in oil to symbolize the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days.
Today, although the origins of Hanukkah go back to the Maccabean uprising, it is now joyously celebrated with family, feasting, and community festivities. Gift-giving and offering hanukkah gelt, (either in cash or in the chocolate coin form) are all parts of the festival as well. In Israel, among others, it’s a street party with parades, decorated public menorahs.
While its origins in history are important, the meaning of Hanukkah transcends its historical roots; it is a message of hope, resilience, and the continued light through the Jewish community. Whether it is through the warmth of the menorah’s glow or the heat of the food that is shared, Hanukkah brings people together in celebrating faith, tradition, and community.
