Bonnie Sultan has prepared Sufganiyot, jelly doughnuts and Latkes, potato cakes for Hanukkah as well as some wines. A lesser Jewish festival, lasting eight days from the 25th day of Kislev (in December) and commemorating the rededication of the Temple in 165 bc by the Maccabees after its desecration by the Syrians. It is marked by the successive kindling of eight lights.
