Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday (alternatively spelled Chanukah or Chanuka) that means “dedication” in Hebrew. It is an eight-day celebration commemorating the Jewish victory over the armies of Syria in 165 B.C.E. and the subsequent liberation and dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Jews celebrate by lighting a hanukkiah (sometimes called a menorah), playing dreidel, and eating latkes.
Activity Village: Hanukkah
“Over 2000 years ago, in 165 BC, the Jews in Judea rebelled against their Syrian ruler, Antiochus, because he insisted that all Jewish people must worship Greek Gods. After three hard years of fighting, the Jews defeated Antiochus and, to celebrate, they restored the Temple of Jerusalem – which had been taken over by the Syrians – and rededicated it to their God.” Visit for printable Hanukkah coloring pages, crafts, holiday writing paper, crafts, and printable puzzles.
My Jewish Learning: Hanukkah
Need help lighting the hanukkiah? There’s a silly Todd and God video that’s sure to help. “Don’t forget, Todd, always light from left to right!” There’s also ideas for family celebrations, a few history lessons, dreidel rules, and recipes. “On Hanukkah is it customary to eat foods that are either fried in oil, or made with cheese. The fried foods custom recalls the miracle of Hanukkah, which centered around oil (one cruse lasting for eight days).”
PBS Kids: Arthur: Hanukkah
The endearing characters of the Arthur book series explain Hanukkah in this five-slide short story. “Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights. The Frenskys like to display the Hanukkah candles in the front window so that other people can see them. Francine says that it’s nice to feel like she is a part of something big.”
