About This Answer
Hanukkah celebrates eight nights commemorating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. According to Jewish scholars at Oxford University, the eight-day festival recalls the miracle of oil burning for eight days. The Library of Congress documents how Hanukkah traditions evolved across cultures. Religious historians note that the menorah's eight lights (plus the shamash) symbolize this miracle. The eight-night celebration has become one of Judaism's most recognizable holidays worldwide.
