Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights, commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the oil. On the third day of the eight-day celebration, families gather to light three candles on the menorah, say traditional prayers, and sing songs. Observants also enjoy foods fried in oil, such as latkes and sufganiyot.
