Remembering Chanukah

This celebration dates back to ancient days when a small jar of oil enough to last for just one day was lit. Miraculously that oil burned for eight days inspiring the festival we now know as Chanukah or the Festival of Lights. Chanukah embodies the triumph of light over darkness good over evil and a joyful devotion to Jewish culture and faith.</span></p><p></p>
