Description
In the Jewish tradition of celebrating Hanukkah, lighting the candles each of eight nights commemorates the few drops of oil found in the decimated Synagogue of long ago, which lasted a miraculous eight days and nights. The Hebrew letters on each side of the dreidel signify the first letter in each Hebrew word of a "great Miracle Happened There". Hanukkah is also known as The Festival of Lights, not lights all around our homes like the beautiful Christmas lights adorning our neighbor's homes, but the warm inner glow of colorful candles slowly burning to create an atmosphere of peace and unity in our family and the greater Jewish community. So, light the candles and enjoy your holidays, my friends!!
