How long does the Hanukkah celebration last for?

Correct Answer: Eight days

Hanukkah (the Jewish Festival of Lights) lasts for eight days, usually falling in November or December.

Each night, a candle is lit on a special nine-branched menorah called a chanukiah.

The festival commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem and the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days.
