The story of Hanukkah – a small group of Jews resisting assimilation and foreign domination – resonates deeply with the challenges faced by Jews in the Diaspora.
But the reason it has become such a significant Jewish holiday is not simply because of its proximity to the winter holiday that Christians celebrate.
That innocent little top, with a Hebrew letter carved on each side, carries within it a great deal of Jewish history and inspiration.
Illuminating hearts, inspiring hope: The international Judaica and silverware brand Hazorfim presents the 2024 Hanukkah collection.
Jewish pride is the ability to live with Jewish confidence, stemming from a connection to Judaism that adds value and meaning to one’s life.
The tradition of building up to lighting eight oil lamps (plus one shamash, or servitor) over the Hanukkah period began in the 2nd century CE.
Lighting the Hanukkah candles becomes an act of defiance against despair, a symbol of unwavering faith, and a reminder that even in the darkest times, the Jewish people can glow brightly.
