Hanukkah

Private Home Health Care would like to wish our Jewish friends a very Happy Hanukkah.

Hanukkah, known as the Festival of Lights, started on sundown last night.  The holiday lasts for 8 days. It celebrates when the Maccabee people rose up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors to take back the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

The miracle happened as the work began for the rededication of the Temple.  There was only enough uncontaminated oil to last for one day.   The oil lasted for a total of eight days which allowed enough time to prepare more oil.  This is seen as a true miracle by the Jewish people.

May this be a blessed holiday for our Jewish friends.
