???? ( خنوکا - חנוכה )
SUPPORT WIKIPEDIA
Hanukkah (Hebrew: חֲנֻכָּה, Tiberian: Ḥănukkāh, usually spelled חנוכה pronounced [χanuˈka] in Modern Hebrew, also romanized as Chanukah, Chanukkah, or Chanuka), also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-dayJewish holiday commemorating the rededication of theHoly Temple (the Second Temple) in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt of the 2nd century BCE. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar.
The festival is observed by the kindling of the lights of a unique candelabrum, the nine-branched Menorah or Hanukiah, one additional light on each night of the holiday, progressing to eight on the final night. The typical Menorah consists of eight branches with an additional raised branch. The extra light is called ashamash (Hebrew: שמש, "attendant" or "sexton")[1] and is given a distinct location, usually above or below the rest. The purpose of the shamash is to have a light available for use, as using the Hanukkah lights themselves is forbidden.[2]

"נס לא קרה לנו -פך שמן לא מצאנו.לעמק הלכנו
ההרה עלינו
מעיינות האורות
הגנוזים גילינו. נס לא קרה לנו
פך שמן לא מצאנו
בסלע חצבנו עד דם -
ההרה עלינו
מעיינות האורות
הגנוזים גילינו. נס לא קרה לנו
פך שמן לא מצאנו
בסלע חצבנו עד דם -
ויהי אור!"
