SQMS wishes all Jewish families around the world a Happy Hanukkah!
Hanukkah, which is also called the “Festival of Lights” starts today at sundown and continues through Friday, December 18th. One candle is lit on the first night of Hanukkah, and an additional candle is lit on each successive night, until, on the eighth night, the Chanukiah is fully illuminated.
Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after a group of Jewish warriors defeated the occupying Greek armies. Hanukkah celebrates the triumph of light over darkness. (https://www.almanac.com/content/when-is-hanukkah)
