Tip of the Week
Channukah is the holiday commemorating the miracle which occurred during the time of the Maccabis.
The Jewish Holy Temple was desecrated by the Greeks and the eternal flame was put out. The Maccabees had enough olive oil to light the flame for only one day but the trip to the next town was much longer. A great miracle occurred when the oil burned until the new oil arrived - eight days and eight nights later. Jews now light the Channukah Menorah for eight days and nights, commemorating the miracle that happened.
