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.
