Menorah Lighting Ceremonies & Celebrations on Long Island
 Celebrate Chanukah, the Festival of Lights!
Celebrate the lighting of the Menorah for Chanukah, the Festival of Lights. The eight-day Jewish holiday begins at sundown on Saturday, December 8th. The holiday commemorates the miracle of a day's worth of oil which somehow continued to burn for 8 days, lighting a temple and becoming a symbol of hope. Jewish children receive gifts for Chanukah – often one gift for each of the eight nights of the holiday. Whether you spell it "Hanukah," "Hanukkah" or "Chanukah," the holiday is celebrated with these traditions. Lighting the menorah - a candle is lit each of the eight nights to commemorate the miracle of the oil. Spinning the dreidel - The four-sided top with Hebrew letters written on each side. Gelt, which are chocolate coins covered with tin foil, are part of this game. These are some of the many traditions of Chanukah - why not make visiting a local lighting ceremony a new tradition for your family this year?
