miracle of the rededication of the Temple, when a small bit of oil
burned for eight days.
A favorite treat during Chanukah, and — for many people—throughout the
year, is the latke, or fried pancake. The most common type is the potato
latke, but there are many delicious varieties of latkes. We’ve found
