The Hebrew word Hanukah means &#8220;initiation.&#8221; The holiday is called to repeat the Sacred. It is known that in the second century BC the Holy Land was ruled by the Seleucids. They tried to force the people of Israel to accept Greek culture and beliefs instead of observing the mitzvah and faith in the G-d. But the faithful Jews at the head of the Jewish Maccabeus expelled the Greeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they tried to light the Temple Menoru, they found one shell, which was not infected by the Greeks. They lit a menorah. It was enough for 8 days. To commemorate and promote such miracles, the Hanukkah Festival was established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do People Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hanukkah organize festivals with night illuminated menorahs. It is accepted that the menorah consist of 9 flames with shamash. The last flame is intended to set fire to the other eight lights. The first night one flame is lit. On the second night another flame burns. By the eighth night of Hanukkah all the lights are lit. Prior to the festival, traditional songs are performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menorah is illuminated in all houses. It is placed in a doorway or in a window. Also it is covered in synagogues, public places. In the modern world, menorah can be seen in urban and other buildings around the world. In addition, the prayer of Hallel is read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Celebrate Hanukkah?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Women on Hanukkah day should not work at least the first 30 minutes after burning candles. In some countries there is a custom not to work during the entire period of burning candles. It is also forbidden to fast and praise during Hanukkah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hanukkah Observances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>List of dates for other years<\/p>\n\n\n<table><tr>\n
