HANUKKAH
Happy Hanukkah!
The “Festival of Lights”, Hanukkah lasts for eight days and commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Syrian-Greeks over 2,000 years ago. A miracle occurred where one day of lamp oil lasted for 8 days. While lighting the candles on the menorah in honor of this miracle, blessings and prayers are recited. Traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil, like latkes and jam-filled donuts called sufganiyot. Playing dreidel and the exchange of gifts is also common.

PASCHA
Passover is a 7 or 8 day celebration of when Moses led the Jews from slavery in Egypt - the exodus. During Passover, they eat unleavened bread in honor of the Jews not having enough time for their bread to rise when they fled. The holiday celebrates freedom from slavery and the resilience of the Jewish people. It is often festive on the first night, when a special meal called the Seder is held and prayers are performed.
