I love Hanukkah, so here is a lesson of this beautiful holiday... that will last the next 8 days.
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday also known as the Festival of Lights. It when the Maccabees regained control of the temple from the Syranians and were able to rededicate it. This happened in 165 BCE when Judah Maccabee and his brothers took back control of the temple. In order to rededicate it, they needed to clean it and holy oil needed to burn nightly. They had enough oil for one night but the miracle is that the candle burned for 8.
