0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Chanukah dates back to the Bible's - inter-testament period.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21- The books talk about the restoration - of Jewish worship at the temple...
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- ..and the lighting - of sacred candles.
0:14:25 > 0:14:30- There isn't any mention of a miracle - in these early scriptures.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- In later adaptations, the Jewish - soldiers lit candles in the temple.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- There was only enough oil to - keep the candles alight for a day...
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- ..but they miraculously burned - for eight days.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ..just like the one - found in this Synagogue.

0:15:37 > 0:15:43- They're all about - celebrating and enjoying.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49- During Chanukah, we eat doughnuts - and other fried and sweet foods.
0:15:50 > 0:15:57- We give presents to children which - makes it quite similar to Christmas.
