Hanukkah and Eid ul-Adha
Study note
Hanukkah is a Jewish festival celebrated for eight days in November or December, remembering the Jews' struggle for religious freedom, when a candle is lit each day on a stand called a menorah. Eid ul-Adha remembers that the prophet Ibrahim was willing to sacrifice his son when ordered by God, and reminds Muslims of their commitment to God.
Memory tip: Hanukkah: eight day Jewish festival with the menorah; Eid ul-Adha remembers Ibrahim.
