Hanukkah - Festival of Light

Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, has a lot of traditions surrounding it. The two things I know is that the festivities last for eight days and Jews light a special candelabra with nine branches called a Menorah. 

Year 2017 will start on the evening of December 12 and ends on the evening of December 20th.
