Hanukkah, also known as the Jewish Festival of Lights, begins this Sunday, December 14th and will last for eight days, ending on December 22nd. During the holiday, families light candles on the menorah every night.
The festival commemorates the victory of rebel fighters known as the Maccabees in the recapture of Jerusalem’s Holy Temple in 165 BC, according to Chabad.org.
Hanukkah is a time of joy, prayer, gift-giving, and traditional foods like latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly-filled doughnuts) that bring families and communities together to celebrate.
As millions of people prepare to celebrate, here are 50 wishes and greetings to send to your friends and family:
