 Hanukkah

Food Oily foods are eaten on this occasion such as Latees which are potato cakes and sufganiyot which are doughnuts. They are eaten all through out the 8 days for special oil treats. History In B.C.E the Jews Holly Temple was seized and dedicated to the worship of Zeus. The Jews wanted to keep a candle burning so they found a little amount of oil to light a candle for a day. But a miracle occurred and that small amount of oil lasted for 8 nights instead of only 1 so the candle burned for 8 nights. Games The dreidle is a four sided spinning top that children play with on Hanukkah. Each side of the dreidle has a imprinted Hebrew letter. The children pass the dreidle in a circle and each have a turn at spinning it. Each letter means something.
