More About Hanukkah
Long ago, there was a fight for freedom. The Maccabees won and took back their home. They found a small amount of oil for the menorah. It lasted for eight days, which was a big surprise!
During Hanukkah, families come together. They share stories and play games. Kids love to spin the dreidel and win chocolate coins!
Hanukkah is a time to be happy. It shows us how to stand up for what is right. Many people still celebrate it today with joy.
