David discusses some of the traditions associated with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. He describes traditional foods eaten like latkes and beef brisket, as well as games played like dreidel. He explains that Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees defeated the Greeks and restored religious freedom for Jews. The menorah, which has nine candle slots representing the eight nights of Hanukkah plus the center shamash candle, is an important symbol of the holiday.

1. Holiday
study
on Hanukkah
some important traditions.
Hello my name is David and I want to talk
about Hanukkah.First I want to talk about
some traditional clothing,a game,foods and
songs.I'll talk about some traditional food
is.Some foods they eat on hanukkah are a
smothered beef brisket,Latkes and cake
doughnuts just to name a few.Now some
clothes they were is Yamica witch is all i
know about because with all of the new
styles some people prefer to just were
modern clothes and don't really want to
were traditional clothes so i only know
about.A game the jews play is driedal were
they spin a wooden rolling thing and it falls
on a letter.some songs they sing is no
latkes witch is a really traditional song that
is sang on Hanukkah.

2. so how did it become a
holiday?
Now i'll talk about why the holiday is
celebrated.Hanukkah is celebrated in
remembering when the jewish people
fought for there freedom against a evil
king.He requested that all the jewish people
obey him and some did but other jews were
outraged and didn't want this they wanted
to do what they wanted. the king had
corrupted the holy temple and the jewish
fight his army to restore it and they did,with
that said they did overthrow the king and
the holy temple was restored.So after this
the jews wanted a day to dedicate the day
they restored the holy temple and they did
and of course that day was named
Hanukkah.Hanukkah is really popular
because of the large number of jews who
spread the holiday just like christians and
catholics who do the same.You would
guess it would be the most popular jewish
holiday but its not.The most popular jewish
holiday is Passover day.

3. somewhat of what its like on
Hanukkah.
Something that is really is popular on
Hanukkah is the Menorah.The Menorah is
like a candle holder that has 9 slots and of
course you put candles in them.Something
that is really cool is that every candle
represents days and you get one present
for 9 days witch means 9 days of presents
witch is awesome!the 9th candle holder
witch is the one that is in the middle is the
most popular because it has the star of
David.the candle holders stand for the
number of days a light lasted for during the
war and thats how long it took to over
through the evil king.
