Chanukah
Chanukah celebrates the military victory of the Maccabees
over the forces of Antiochus in Judea, and two miracles of the oil in
the Temple in Jerusalem.
After their victory, the Maccabees reconsecrated the
Temple. Miraculously, they found one vial of undefiled oil, but that
was enough to keep the Eternal Flame burning for only one day. It would
take eight days to prepare new oil, for the oil permitted in the Temple
was specifically ~ and only ~ the first drop of oil from each olive.
Again a miracle occurred, and the one vial of oil lasted for the full
eight days.
The eight candles of the Chanukah menorah symbolize
those eight days. The ninth candle is the shamash, or helper,
used to light the other candles. The shamash is necessary because
the Chanukah lights are not to be used for any normal household needs,
including the lighting of another candle! The candles in the menorah
are added from right to left but are lit from left to right.
How did the dreidel come to be associated with Chanukah?
Antiochus refused to allow Jews to study Torah, so scholars would keep
a dreidel close by. When the king's soldiers spied on them, they would
hide the Torah and pull out the dreidel, and appear to be playing a
harmless game.
The four Hebrew letters on the sides of the dreidel
~ Nun, Gimel, He, and Shin ~ represent the words Nes Gadol Haya Sham,
"a great miracle happened there", except in Israel, where
the letters abbreviate "a great miracle happened HERE".
On Chanukah, we eat foods fried in oil, such as latkes.
