So, in other threads, there have been multiple references to the Jewish Feast of Hannukah. If we have Jewish Friends, we probably know some who are celebrating the Feast. Hannukah often overlaps with Christmas, and this year it is December 18th to December 26th.
In this thread, please post Biblical or historical information related to Hannukah, or current events pertaining to its celebration. Thanks.
Wiki: "Hanukkah[a] (/ˈhɑːnəkə/; Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, Modern: Ḥanukka, Tiberian: Ḥănukkā
listen) is a Jewish festival commemorating the recovery of Jerusalem and subsequent rededication of the Second Temple at the beginning of the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE.[3][4]
Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanukkah
