Discussion points
- Because it is a Hebrew word containing sounds not contained in English, Hanukkah has no strict English spelling. It can also be spelt ‘Chanukah’ and ‘Hanukah’.
- Hanukkah is celebrated for 8 days starting on the 25th of Kislev (sometime between late November and late December).
- It celebrates the Miracle of the Lights where a day’s supply of oil lasted for 8 days at the rededication of the First Temple.
- The Hanukkah menorah has 8 candles representing these 8 days and another, called the ‘shamash’, that is used to light the others.
