DECEMBER 8 - National brownie day, First night of Chanukah
The Jewish holiday of Chanukah is known as the Festival of Lights. This holiday commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem, where a one-day supply of oil miraculously burned for eight nights. The menorah is used to symbolize this miracle. The ninth candle in the menorah is called the Shamash, or helper candle, and is used to light the ones surrounding it.
