If you'd rather dance the hora than jingle bells this holiday
season, then odds are those carolers at your front door won't do
the trick. You need a holiday soundtrack you can call your own.
Hanukkah (Hebrew: חנוכה, alt. Chanukah), also known as the
Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating
the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time
of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is
observed for eight nights, starting on the 25th day of Kislev
according to the Hebrew calendar, and may occur from late
November to late December on the Gregorian calendar.
