As the Festival of Lights approaches, families worldwide are preparing to celebrate Hanukkah, a time filled with joy, reflection, and delicious food. This year, the holiday begins on the evening of December 2nd and lasts for eight nights, each marked by the lighting of the menorah.
Traditional dishes take center stage during Hanukkah, with latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly-filled donuts) stapled on many tables. These fried foods symbolize the miracle of the oil that lasted eight days in the rededication of the Second Temple. As we gather with loved ones to spin dreidels and exchange gifts, let’s not forget to indulge in the rich flavors of kosher cuisine that honor our heritage. This Hanukkah, let’s celebrate with lights and the warmth of home-cooked meals that bring us together.
