Hanukkah, the Jewish holiday, commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem with eight days and nights of kindling candles, exchanging small gifts, and feasting on traditional sweets. At the center of the holiday is the nine-branched Menorah which is lighted each night at sundown as blessings are said. Children play Dreidel, a simple spinning-top game. Dreidels are marked with Hebrew letters that represent "a great miracle is happening here" and often become cherished family heirlooms. festival of lights
