Hanukkah or Chanukah is the Jewish festival of lights. While the days on which it is celebrated vary between November and December depending on the year, the holiday always last eight days and is in recognition of the Jewish people winning a battle against the Greeks and practicing their religious freedom many years ago. Over the course of the eight days, the menorah is lit in the evening. Observers also play a game with a dreidel or spinning top. And some offer one another a small present on each night of the celebration.
