Chanukah in Hebrew means inauguration and refers to the reopening of the Temple by the Jews, after it was desecrated by the Greeks in the second century BC. C. This festivity, which lasts 8 days, is celebrated every year in the month of December with great joy. Throughout these days candles are lit in the januquia, a candelabrum with eight arms aligned with an additional support for another candle, denominated shamash, that is used to light the others. In Chanukah there is also the custom of taking certain foods, such as sufganiot, and children play with four-sided spinning tops marked with the Hebrew initials of the phrase “A Great Miracle Happened Here.”
