One of the more joyous holidays on the Jewish calendar, Hanukkah commemorates the miracle God performed for the Jewish people after the destruction of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. Aptly called the Festival of Lights, it serves as a reminder of the oil that burned for eight days when there was only enough to light the menorah for one night. Unlike some somber Jewish holidays, such as Yom Kippur, when it’s inappropriate to wish someone a “happy” holiday, on Hanukkah the happy holiday messages flow freely....
