Hanukkah Story And Party Ideas
By Mrs. Party... Gail Leino, Sat Dec 10th
Hanukkah Story and Party Ideas The word Hanukkah isHebrew for dedication. Hanukkah is a holiday celebrated tocommemorate the rededication of the holy temple in Jerusalem in165BCE after the Maccabees, a group of Jewish fighters, victoryover the Hellenist Syrians. This was a big deal becauseAntiochus, the Greek King of Syria, had outlawed all Jewishrituals. Antiochus also made the Jewish people worship GreekGods. When the Temple was being rededicated there was onlyenough oil to light the temple lamps for one evening. Insteadthere was a miracle and the temple lights stayed lit for eightnights until more oil was found. Because of this miracleHanukkah is known as the festival of lights and it is celebratedfor eight days and nights, the same amount of time the templelights stayed lit. Oil is a reoccurring theme in the Hanukkahcelebration due to the lamp oil. Foods fried in oil like Latkes and Sufganiyots, aretraditional ways to celebrate at a Hanukkah
Party.Latkes are potato pancakes made from grated potatoes, onions,eggs, and flour that are fried in oil and served hotwith applesauce and sour cream. Sufganiyots are basically jellydoughnuts with no holes, also fried in oil, andcovered with powdered sugar or cinnamon.
