The Jewish holidays are mostly regarded as religious holidays. The festival of Hanukkah is one of them. Hanukkah dates are considered to be very important in the history of the Jewish civilization. The Hebrew term, ‘Hanukkah’ connotes devotion. The real story of Hanukkah is truly a fascinating one. Hanukkah popularly known all over the globe as the ‘festival of lights’ is the annual Jewish festival celebrated for consecutive eight days and eight nights. |
Hanukkah date starts on the 25th day of Kislev, the third month of the Jewish calendar and the months of November and December of the English Calendar. The Hanukkah dates are very important to the Jews as it is celebrated to commemorate the rededication of the holy temple in Jerusalem after the victory of the Jews over the Hellenist Syrians in 165 BCE.
With the globalization of the Christmas holidays in the twentieth century as a time for giving presents to all near and dear ones, it is also believed to be one of the biggest holidays in the Western world. Similarly, with the establishment of the modern state of Israel, Hanukkah or the ‘festival of lights’ began to be increasingly served both as a celebration of Israel's struggle for survival and as a gift-giving holiday for family and friends in December which could act as a Jewish alternative to Christmas. The approaching of the Hanukkah dates bring in our mind times full of fun and frolic, lightings and crackers, food and feast.
