We offer tree-planting kits and sustainable gifts that are perfect for sprucing up your Hanukkah celebrations. In this guide, we’ll explore some eco-friendly Hanukkah gift ideas and learn more about the significance of this special occasion.
A Brief History of Hanukkah
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following the Maccabees’ victory over the Syrians. This miraculous event in the second century BCE involved a small jar of oil, which remained lit for eight days when it should have only lasted one.
Today, Jews around the world celebrate Hanukkah by lighting a menorah, enjoying traditional foods, and exchanging gifts. It’s a time for gratitude, reflection, and unity – and what better way to express these sentiments than with sustainable gifting?
