Subject: Ail about Chanuka

Shalom from the Land of Promise,

In keeping with my previous habbit, here is your next installment of
questions to "test" what you know, or perhaps don't know about Jewish
holidays their themes and minhagirn (customs). Answers will follow just
after Chanuka begins.

1. Why is Chanuka celebrated?

2. Why are the heroes of the Chanuka story called "Maccabees"?

3. Why is Chanuka observed for eight days?

4. What are the customary foods served on Chanuka?

5. What is a "draydel" and how is it used?

Bonus Question: Is there any New Testament significance to Chanuka?
