Hanukkah, which means โ€œdedication,โ€ commemorates the miracle of light that occurred when Judah rededicated the Temple to the Hebrew god.

Hanukkah traditions is the lighting of the menorah each evening. Also known as the Hanukkah lamp, the menorah recalls the Temple lampstand and is a simple or elaborate candelabra with eight branches plus a holder for the shammash (โ€œservantโ€) candle that is used to light the other eight candles. One candle is lit on the first evening, and an additional candle is lit on each subsequent evening until eight candles are burning on the last evening.

Though Hanukkah is the most widely used spelling, Chanukah is more traditional.

Even though it's fall, it's still ice cream weather.
๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚
The Autumnal Equinox in September ushers in a change of season. It is observed annually when the sun can be seen directly overhead along the equator. The day marks the end of summer and beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚
The autumn equinox is one of two days when all points on Earth except the polar regions see the sunrise and set at due east and due west. With few exceptions, all latitudes see almost precisely 12 hours of daylight and 12 of darkness.
