Channukah Dinner Menu

Traditional Hannukah Dinner • Hannukah means “dedication” and is a holiday that honors and celebrates one of the first recorded fights for religious freedom and the success of this fight. It commemorates the re-dedication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Jewish victory over the Syrian Greeks in 165 BCE. Once the Jewish people regained their temple, they wanted to purify it by burning ritual oil for 8 days, but they only had enough oil for one night. The miracle of this holiday was that the oil lasted for the full 8 days, thus burning candles and celebrating for 8 days is part of his holiday.
