Hanukkah!

This week at The Academy Of Gateway we learned about Hanukah! Hanukkah is a Jewish festival commemorating the redirection of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. It is also know as the Festival of Lights. Many modern Jewish celebrate by lighting the hanukkiah. One candle per night of Hanukkah is lit, like Hebrew is read , from right to left. People might also play dreidel games and eat certain foods like sufganiyot(similar to jelly donuts) and latkes(fried potato pancakes).
