Hanukkah

Every year, Jewish people around the world celebrate Hanukkah to commemorate the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Syrian-Greek army in 165 B.C. and won their religious freedom.

Hanukkah is referred to as the Festival of Lights because, according to tradition, when they rekindled the menorah it burned for eight days although it only held enough oil to burn a single day. The holiday is a reminder to rekindle our spiritual lights and shine for the world.

Admission is free.
