Hey, fellows, I'm going to post a bunch of pictures that are related to Channuka:

Channukah lamps ( Channukiah ):

And here is a wind-blocked Channukias:

As you can see, the Channukiahs are having great resemblance to the Golden Lamp that was in the Tample. We are using eight-branched lamp instead of seven-branched lamp, because we don't allowed to lit a seven-branched lamp outside the Tample, and the sages decided to make a difference between the Menorah that the Hasmoneans lit in the Tample and the lamp that is made for the miracle's publicity.

And here are some of Channuka's traditional food:

Jelly doughnut:

potato pancakes, A.K.A "latkes":

Oh, I almost forgot the Spinning Top. There are four letters which represents the following santence: "a great miracle had happened here".
On the other hand, there are tops that their letters represents this sentence: " a great miracle had happened there " ( Mostly abroad ):

YAY! I'm gonna get some jelly doughnuts for Chanukah now! Haha, I'm making latkes myself too for the first time...

I hope I do okay...I still need some more recipes for things to make however.

I figured I'd bake some Star of David cookies and challah. I haven't forgotten the wine either.
Yessssss. I'm so excited! 10 Days!

Yes, but this is more of an information/question topic, hence why it is being moved to Jewish Information. 3nodding

Jelly donuts and latkes are related to Channuka because of the oil. We eat fried food to remember the miracle of the little oil cruse that was enough for 8 days.
