“Blessed are You, Hashem
our G-d, King of the universe, Who has wrought miracles for our forefathers,
in those days as in this season.”(Traditional Hanukkah blessing)
"Hanukkah" is the eight-day festival that commemorates the victory
of the Maccabees over the Greek invaders of the land of Israel, led by Antiochus
IV, who defiled the Beit HaMikdash. Once liberated, there was only a small portion
of oil for the Menorah, enough for one day. A miracle occured which kept the
oil burning for eight days, the exact amount of time needed for new oil to be
made. In this painting, the eight candles of the Menorah are at the bottom of
the star, while the shammus, the candle that is used to lights the others, is
at the top.
