Hanukkah is celebrated by Iranian Jewish community<\/strong> in December of each year, just like everywhere else in the world. This important holiday marks the commemoration of Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in 2700 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each night of the celebration one candle is lit on the Menorah until the 8th night. This event is to remember the miracle of a burning lamp at the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, which had enough oil for only one night, but the lamp miraculously burned for eight nights, and gave enough time to make necessary oil for the rest of the days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
