This year, Hanukkah is December 10–December 18th. Known as the Festival of Lights in Judaism. There are many traditions that are celebrated during this special holiday. These special traditions include lighting the menorah, a nine-branched light holder that is lit each night until all the eight days of the Hanukkah festival are celebrated.
Another tradition involves some delicious foods, including fried foods like potato pancakes known as latkes and jelly donuts. Then, there is playing dreidel, a game that commemorates Jewish heritage.
Finally, Hanukkah involves giving gifts during nightly gift exchanges. This has only been recent addition to Hanukkah celebrations, added during the late nineteenth century.
Most importantly, this is a time for family and close friends to focus on what you are grateful for from the past year. And, now, more than ever, this level of gratitude and appreciation for health and each other. This is also an opportune time to focus on how you will practice more gratitude and kindness going forward.
Your Hanukkah celebration here in San Diego may be a little different than during previous years because of the need to gather in smaller groups. However, you can still virtually get together to enjoy a meal or lighting of the menorah.
