Hanukkah begins this evening (Thurs).
Hanukkah celebrates the miracle that took place when the Second Temple in Jerusalem was liberated in 165 B-C.
Olive oil was needed to light the Menorah in the temple, but only enough for one day – was found.
However, that small quantity of oil ended up lasting for eight nights, which was enough time for a fresh supply of kosher oil to be produced.
