Scope note
Jewish religious season commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem after its desecration. Marked by the rite of lighting the menorah, symbolic of the Talmud story in which the small supply of nondesecrated oil, enough for one day, miraculously burned in the Temple for eight full days. Gifts are also exchanged and children play holiday games.
