Chanukah
December 11-18 Chanukah ( alternately spelled Hanukkah ), meaning “ dedication ” in Hebrew , refers to the joyous eight-day celebration during which Jews commemorate the victory of the Maccabees over the armies of Syria in 165 B . C . E . and the subsequent liberation and “ rededication ” of the Temple in Jerusalem . The modern home celebration of Hanukkah centers around the lighting of the hanukkiyah , a special menorah for Hanukkah , preparing foods in oil including latkes ( potato pancakes ) and sufganiyot ( jelly doughnuts ), singing special songs and playing games .
