Hanukkah, or the festival of lights, is celebrated worldwide by Jewish people. The largest celebration, though, undoubtedly happens in Israel. The word “Hanukkah,” meaning dedication, is the commemoration of the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. The festivities last eight nights to commemorate how long the holy light burned, and a menorah is lit each night of the holiday. One of the most beloved traditions of the holiday is all the delicious fried food, among them the “sufganiyot,” jelly doughnuts sold by the millions. These small balls of dough now come with various fillings and fancy decorations and are a must-have. Lastly, the popular game of Dreidel, still played today, involves a spinning top marked on four sides with a different Hebrew letter. Legend has it that after Greek soldiers banned children from studying Torah, they created this inventive game and studied regardless. When the soldiers came near, they simply pretended they were playing games.
