Every year between the end of November and the end of December,Jewish people around the world celebrate the holiday of Chanukah,the Festival of Lights.Chanukah begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew (希伯来的) month of Kislev (历法：基色娄月,即犹太教历9月,犹太国历3月,在公历11、12月间,共29或30天),but the starting date on the western calendar varies from year to year.The holiday celebrates the events which took place over 2,300 years ago in the land of Judea（朱迪亚,古巴勒斯坦南部地区,包括今巴勒斯坦南部地区和约旦的西南部地区）,which is now Israel.
Jews celebrate Chanukah to mark the victory over the Syrians and the rededication of the Jerusalem Temple.The Festival of the Lights,Chanukah,lasts for eight days to commemorate the miracle of the oil.The word Chanukah means "rededication".
