A celebration founded to commemorate the victory of the Maccabees, a troupe of rebel Jews, in resecuring their temple from the Greek Syrians, Chanukah is an integral aspect of the Jewish faith. Meaning “dedication,” the jubilee of Chanukah lasts for 8 nights as an ode to the burning of the holy light that went on way longer than expected. Here are some facts you might not know about the sacred holiday: A Menorah, which is a candelabra that holds 9 candles, is lit nightly during the celebration. People once gave money instead of gifts. All foods are fried as a symbol the miracle oil. The World’s Largest Menorah is located at Grand Army Plaza in New York. Do you know someone special who will start celebrating Chanukah tomorrow, perhaps a client? Wish them a happy holiday and show support by sending our Gold Star Gift Box right to their doorstep!
