Hanukkah 2008 begins at sundown on 21st December. It is an ancient festival which commemorates the re-dedication of the temple in Jerusalem after it was destroyed by Antiochus – a Syrian King. The Jews who rebuilt the temple lit a ceremonial candle (the Menorah) but didn’t have much oil. However, it miraculously kept burning for eight days, and so the Festival of Light lasts for eight days.

There are many traditions associated with Chanukkah (Hanukkah) such as eating fried foods (to remember the sanctified oil), spinning the dreidel (a sort of dice which children bet on with sweets or other objects) and giving gifts to one another.

Here at The World’s Greatest Blog we’d like Adam Sandler to lead the way in celebrating Hanukkah so here’s the Chanukkah song he wrote for all those Jewish kids who feel left out at Christmas time:

Adam Sandler “Chanukkah Song” Lyrics

“ok ok this is a song that uh, theres a lot of Christmas songs out there and uh not to many Hanukah songs so uh i wrote a song for all those nice little Jewish kids who don’t get to hear any Hanukah songs.”
