HANUKKAH

Hanukkah is a Jewish celebration in honor of a victorious battle for religious
freedom. The holiday lasts for eight days. During Hanukkah, Francine likes to
play dreidel, a game where kids spin a four-sided top. They get chocolate coins
if they win.

On the last night of Hanukkah, Francine's relatives come over for a party. They
bring all kinds of great food like kugel, and potato pancakes called "latkes."
Latkes are delicious with applesauce!

After a battle 2,000 years ago, the Jews had enough oil to light their holy
light for only one night. But somehow, the oil burned for eight days. That's why
at Hanukkah the Frenskys light a candleholder called a "hanukkiah" (a special
kind of menorah) that holds eight candles (plus one for lighting the rest).

After lighting the candles, Francine and her family sing Hanukkah songs and open
their presents. Francine gets eight presents -- one for each night of the
holiday.

Hanukkah is also called the Festival of Lights. The Frenskys like to display the
Hanukkah candles in the front window so that other people can see them. Francine
says that it's nice to feel like she is a part of something big.
