Hanukkah Holidays |
|
|
The Jewish holidays are mostly religious holidays. Hanukkah holidays are one of them. The Hebrew term, ‘Hanukkah’ signifies devotion. The actually story of Hanukkah is a fascinating one. Hanukkah also known as the ‘festival of lights’ is the annual Jewish festival celebrated for consecutive eight days and eight nights. It 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. Hanukkah is the story of heroes and bravery. |
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. With the establishment of the modern state of Israel, the Hanukkah or the ‘festival of lights’ began to be increasingly served both as a celebration of Israel's struggle for survival and as a December family and friends gift-giving holiday which could act as a Jewish alternative to Christmas. However, there is a long tradition of Hanukkah as an especially joyous holiday for children. The Hanukkah holidays 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.
