Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights<\/a>, is the eight-day Jewish celebration held every year in December. It commemorates the miracle of light that happened when Judah rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem to God. It\u2019s celebrated every night with traditions like prayers, menorah lightings, and special Hanukkah dishes.<\/p>\n

One of the most important Hanukkah traditions is eating fried foods, to symbolize the miracle of the oil lighting the menorah in the Temple and burning for eight days and nights. As Jews live all over the world, from Italy and Morocco to Colombia and India, each community has their own way of celebrating Hanukkah. In Italy, you\u2019ll find fried chicken and in Colombia, it\u2019s fried plantains. In Spain it\u2019s fried eggplants, while Syrians love fried leek fritters. And almost every Jewish community does their own delicious version of sweet fried doughnuts. To celebrate Hanukkah, we\u2019re rounding up eight of the tastiest Hanukkah dishes enjoyed around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
