Hanukkah is very popular Jewish holiday in the 21st century because it has a free like feeling to it, other holidays that the Jewish people celebrate has a more constricting feeling to it. I like the idea of Hanukkah, the history of Hanukkah is inspirational since the concept of the holiday shows how the Jewish people feel during the rededication after the revolt. “There was only enough olive oil to fuel the menorah for one night, and it was going to take eight days to make more oil. Miraculously, the one-day supply of oil burned for eight days and nights until more oil could be made. There are eight days of Hanukkah corresponding to the legend of the miracle of the oil in the Temple.” (What is Hanukkah, paragraph 3, http://bigtentjudaism.org/celebrate-jewish-life/qa/what-is-hanukkah-and-how-is-it-celebrated/).
