Is Hanukkah a Jewish festival celebrated to remember the Jews' struggle for religious freedom?
Correct Answer: True
True. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival celebrated to remember the Jews' struggle for religious freedom.
It commemorates the Maccabean Revolt (167–160 BC) when Jews resisted the Greek Seleucid king Antiochus IV, who had outlawed Jewish worship and desecrated the Temple in Jerusalem.
Hanukkah lasts eight nights, with the menorah (nine-branched candelabrum) lit each night. It is also known as the Festival of Lights.
