Candlelit Branch and Ribbon Star of David

As many of us know, Hanukkah is a holiday celebrating the Jewish rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. You may recognize it as a time of latkes, doughnuts, dreidels, gifts and gelt. Besides an abundance of delicious fried foods and gifts, the festival (much like Christmas) brings together family and friends. Before Hanukkah starts this year, we've collected some gifts and crafts to help you celebrate the eight-day festival.
