You may know your Mid-Autumn Festival<\/a> from your Hungry Ghost Festival<\/a>, and your Christmas<\/a> from your Diwali<\/a> \u2013 but how about Hanukkah? Also known as Chanukah, or the Festival of Lights \u2013 yes, similar to Diwali \u2013 Hanukkah is celebrated by the Jewish community around the world. In 2022, Hanukkah falls between 18 and 26 December. Here\u2019s a quick guide to celebrating Hanukkah in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

All about Hanukkah in Hong Kong<\/h2>\n

First things first, what is Hanukkah?<\/h3>\n
\"hanukkah
Hanukkah is a Jewish festival that starts on the 25th day of Kislev<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Deriving its name from the Hebrew verb for \u2018to dedicate\u2019, Hanukkah is a Jewish festival that lasts for eight days, beginning on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar; this falls sometime between late November and late December in the Gregorian calendar.<\/p>\n

The history of Hanukkah was recorded in the books of the First and Second Maccabees, and can be traced all the way back to the second century BCE. When the Maccabee Jews recovered Jerusalem from the Greek Seleucid Empire, they also reclaimed the Holy Temple. On the 25th day of Kislev, as a part of the Jewish religious service, the Jews went to light the menorah (a candelabrum with seven or nine branches) as part of their religious service. Upon realising that there wasn\u2019t enough olive oil to light the candles, the believers went ahead and lit the menorah anyway \u2013 only to find that tiny bit of oil burned on and on, altogether lasting eight days and eight nights! To commemorate this miracle, the 25th day of Kislev was marked the first day of Hanukkah, and the festival lasts for eight days in total.<\/p>\n

How do people celebrate Hanukkah?<\/h3>\n

If you followed the story, it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise to know that lighting the menorah is one of the most important rituals in the Hanukkah festival. Different from the temple menorah which only has seven branches, the Hanukkah menorah (or Hanukkiah) has nine branches, with the one in the middle placed slightly above or below the others. This unique candle is called the shamash, which is used to light the other candles. The shamash will kindle one other candle each night during the Hanukkah until all eight are lit on the final night of the festival.<\/p>\n

In addition, many families exchange gifts each night; lucky children will receive books, games, and toys like the dreidel (a four-sided top). Prayers and blessings are made daily, and some sing Hanukkah songs throughout the festival. Furthermore, the Jewish community enjoys fried foods to pay tribute to oil, the key item to Hanukkah. These traditional foods include latkes (potato pancakes), sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), and others. Some also eat dairy products in remembrance of the story between Judith and Holofernes (during which the former beheaded the latter\u2026 But let\u2019s save that tale for another time.)<\/p>\n

Where to go to celebrate Hanukkah 2022 in Hong Kong<\/h3>\n
