May love and light fill your home and heart at Hanukkah.

Hanukkah known as the Festival of Lights is a very joyous 8 day Jewish Celebration dating back to 165 BC. A Menorah associated with this holiday has nine candle holders with the middle candle cup holding a candle to ignite the other 8. Of the eight, one is lit on the first night, and an additional one on each succeeding nights.
Hanukkah begins on the evening of December 20th and lasts until the evening of December 28th. The dates change every year. It is a time for families to draw near, to prepare special foods, and to honor the Jewish traditions through prayers, rituals, and ancient readings.
Happy Hanukkah!
