	What Is Chanukah? - Chanukah with Aish
		The Hebrew word Chanukah means "dedication." In the 2nd century BCE, the Syrian-Greek regime of Antiochus sought to pull Jews away from Judaism, with the hopes of assimilating them into Hellenism -- Greek culture.
		From then on, Jews have observed a holiday for eight days in honor of this historic victory and the miracle of the oil.
		Today, the observance of Chanukah features the lighting of a special Chanukah menorah with eight branches (plus a helper candle), adding one new candle each night.
