Hanukkah 2010 calendar date is 2-9 December. These are 8 Jewish holidays throughout which a series of communal and family-based rituals are performed. People do not usually take the days off work but leave a bit early to come home and kindle the lights. However, in Israel the schools are closed for 7 days from the second day of Hanukkah. The primary ritual is to light one more light every night for totally 8 nights.

Hanukkah is one among the formally established American Jewish holiday, perhaps because it is such an enjoyable, child-centered celebration. A party would be arranged with fabulous food, gifts exchange, and lighting of splendid menorahs - specific Hanukkah candelabras - containing colorful candles. As opposed to many of the other Jewish holidays that demand extreme religious expression or complex preparing, it is simple to celebrate.
