Hanukkah commemorates the historical event in Jewish history, which took place in Jerusalem in the second century. Israel had been taken over by the Greeks under King Antiochus who would not let the Jews worship their G-d and were banned from observing Judaism. Thanks to a successful revolt by a small group of Jews known as the Maccabees, the Jews reclaimed Jerusalem and the Temple. In order to celebrate the victory, the Temple needed to be repaired, and an oil lamp (Menorah) was lit in it. There was only enough oil to burn the candle for one day, but miraculously it burned for eight days. This is why the Hanukkah festival lasts for eight days and why the festival is also known as the Festival of Lights.
