Artifact Overview
Hanukkah celebrates the 164 B.C.E. victory of a small rebel army, the Maccabees, over the Jews' Syrian-Greek oppressors and the miracle of a small amount of oil lasting for eight days as it burned in the defiled temple's lampstand. Spinning the dreidel, a four-sided top with a Hebrew letter on each side, is a traditional Hanukkah children's game.
