| Quote | - "We thank You also for the miraculous deeds and for the redemption and for the mighty deeds and the saving acts wrought by You, as well as for the wars which You waged for our ancestors in ancient days at this season. In the days of the Hasmonean Mattathias, son of Johanan the high priest, and his sons, when the iniquitous Greco-Syrian kingdom rose up against Your people Israel, to make them forget Your Torah and to turn them away from the ordinances of Your will, then You in your abundant mercy rose up for them in the time of their trouble, pled their cause, executed judgment, avenged their wrong, and delivered the strong into the hands of the weak, the many into the hands of few, the impure into the hands of the pure, the wicked into the hands of the righteous, and insolent ones into the hands of those occupied with Your Torah. Both unto Yourself did you make a great and holy name in Thy world, and unto Your people did You achieve a great deliverance and redemption. Whereupon your children entered the sanctuary of Your house, cleansed Your temple, purified Your sanctuary, kindled lights in Your holy courts, and appointed these eight days of Hanukkah in order to give thanks and praises unto Your holy name."

| abstract | - Hanukkah, also romanized as Chanukah, and sometimes known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight day Jewish which may occur from late November to late December. The festival is observed by the lights of a special candelabrum, a Menorah, upon which one candle is lit on each night of the holiday. The holiday is considered a primary holiday with the Christmas and holiday season in the United States. The holiday had been featured in the Elmo's World special Happy Holidays! where all the holidays of the season, including Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa are shown. In the 1990s version of Shalom Sesame, show 6 deals with the history of Hanukkah, and its celebrations. The holiday is also the subject of show 2 of the 2010s version of the program. Like Christmas, Hanukkah has many songs associated with the holiday, including "I Have a Little Dreidel", and "Oh Chanukah". Adam Sandler became an unlikely addition to the group with his "The Chanukah Song" (which itself was spoofed on Saturday Night Live with Jimmy Fallon playing Sandler and adding Mr. Snuffleupagus to the list of Jewish in the song.) Just as has its turkey and has its colored eggs, Hanukkah is not without its customary foods. Among the foods associated with the Holiday are Latkes, or potato pancakes, and jam filled doughnuts.

- Hanukkah (the Festival of Lights or Festival of Dedication) is a Jewish holiday. It lasts for eight days and is usually celebrated in December or late November. Both secular and religious Jews celebrate Hanukkah as an alternative to Christmas. There is no reference to Hanukkah in the Tanakh (the Hebrew version of the Old Testament). Rather, Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem on November 21, 165 BC, as ordered by Judah Maccabee, shortly after Judea became an independent nation under the Maccabees. The story of the Maccabean Rebellion is included in 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees, which are part of the deuterocanon. Jesus preached in Solomon's Porch (part of the Temple) on Hanukkah (John 10), shortly after healing a blind man on the Sabbath (John 9:14; John 10:21). A crowd of Jews asked if Jesus was indeed the Messiah. Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me." (John 10:22-25) The crowd wished to stone Jesus for blasphemy, but Jesus answered them and escaped from their hand. (John 10:33-39)
