correct way to spell Hanukkah well there
isn’t one there are over 16 acceptable
ways to spell the word Hanukkah h anu k
ka h is the most popular spelling and
widely considered to be the standard
outside of jewish communities but this
make a sense it’s also the official
spelling according to the American
Library of Congress
but in the spirit of separating church
and state it’s important to note that in
our 26 letter alphabet there are many
possible and commonly used spellings
some examples include Hanukkah with one
end Hanukkah with two ends Hanukkah with
two K’s and Hanukkah with a CH and one K
the latter best recreates the
traditional Hebrew pronunciation while
the Library of Congress’s official
version is the closest transliteration
when compared to the spelling of the
original Hebrew word ultimately there’s
no right answer however you spell it it
means the same thing
dedication that’s dedication number
three olive oil is an important part of
the celebration nowadays a whopping
forty four candles are used to fuel the
flames of the Hinoki a– but
traditionally the nura’s were lit with
the purest olive oil a tradition central
to the Hanukkah miracle in order to
purify the temple the Maccabees needed
to keep the sacred menorah burning
despite only having enough oil for one
night it burned for eight using oil may
have fallen out of fashion in recent
years but it’s still crucial to the
holiday in fact you can literally taste
it in all the delicious food traditional
Hanukkah fare is all about the oil
latkes Afghan yacht which is a type of
jelly donut and much more in Israel
alone it’s estimated that some 17 to 24
million Suganya are consumed each year
during Hanukkah when the bottom is brown
flip them over to the other side number
two it’s actually a minor holiday but
it’s a big deal from a religious
standpoint Hanukkah is a relatively
minor occasion on the Hebrew calendar
especially compared to holidays set
aside as days of rest by the Torah like
Rosh Hashanah Passover and Yom Kippur
nonetheless Hanukkah has arguably become
the most recognizable Jewish holiday its
religious significance has remained the
same but since the 19th century its
cultural significance especially amongst
American Jewish families has grown
exponentially it’s now often treated as
the Jewish equivalent of Christmas oh
and you feel like the only kid in town
without a Christmas tree here’s a list
of people who are Jewish just like you
well that’s a gross oversimplification
its position in the Western holiday
season has certainly influenced its
cultural evolution
you know what holiday is coming up don’t
you Christmas yeah and you know what
other holiday is coming up Christmas Eve
traditionally Jewish children received
small sums of money or gelt over holiday
to encourage their Torah studies
nowadays children usually receive a
variety of presents more lined with
modern Christmas gift-giving practices
I’m the holiday armadillo number one the
dreidel a toy and a tool of resistance
before the Maccabees took back the
temple the Jewish people were persecuted
in the region king Antiochus the fourth
had passed various laws prohibiting a
great number of Jewish practices unable
to observe their faith in public the
Jewish people began to study the Torah
in secret they would congregate whenever
possible in small groups to discuss and
learn if and when soldiers came to
investigate they would pull out the
dreidels that kept close at hand and
pretend to have been playing games the
dreidel was the perfect tool to help
them in their covert fight for their
right to practice their faith to this
day the dreidel is inseparably
intertwined with the history of Hanukkah

great miracle happened here so what are
