Wholesome Holiday Presents for Hanukkah

Indeed, the holiday shopping sprees are in full effect, and everyone is searching for that perfect holiday gift for a loved one.

With Black Friday and the sales craze behind us, we’re now bringing back our focus to buying Christmas presents or searching for Hanukkah gift ideas; but what is Hanukkah, exactly?

What is Hanukkah, and when is it celebrated?

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrating the Temple's rededication in Jerusalem. 

Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December. Often called the "Festival of Lights", the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games, and gifts.

This year the festival is celebrated on December 18th - 26th and lasts eight days. The first and last nights are considered full holidays, while the other nights are considered minor holidays.

Nowadays, the tradition of Hanukkah includes lighting candles on a menorah, eating fried foods like potato latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), playing dreidel games, and, of course, exchanging gifts with family members and friends.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, you know we’re here to talk about the gift exchange and what you can get for your loved ones this Hanukkah.
