How to Celebrate Hanukkah: Biblical Meaning, Traditions, and Faith for Today

Send us a text

Hanukkah, the Festival of Dedication, is more than a Jewish holiday—it is a story of faithfulness, courage, and God’s sustaining light. In this teaching, we explore how to celebrate Hanukkah, where the traditions come from, and why they continue to matter for both Jewish and Christian seekers today.

We walk through the historical events of the Maccabean period, the rededication of the Temple, and the symbolism of the menorah, showing how Hanukkah points to themes of faith under pressure, God’s presence in darkness, and dedication of the heart. You’ll learn practical ways to observe Hanukkah—lighting the candles, blessings, food traditions, and reflections—while also discovering how these practices connect to Scripture and the wider biblical story.

Whether you are Jewish, Christian, or simply seeking to walk more deeply in the faith of the Bible, this episode invites you to step into the rhythms of God’s people and rediscover the meaning of light that endures.
