As we reflect on history, let's take a moment to appreciate the significance of this festival. The Arch of Titus, captured in 1855 by Robert MacPherson, stands as a reminder of the ancient struggle faced by our ancestors. It symbolizes both destruction and resilience, reminding us of the Maccabees' heroic efforts during the rededication of their temple in 164 B. C. Intricate woodcuts depict the sacred act of lighting the Menorah – an essential part celebrations. These images capture not only physical illumination but also spiritual enlightenment that permeates our hearts during this joyous occasion. Traveling across continents to North America's Arizona state, Chanukah finds its place among diverse communities who come together to honor this festival with great enthusiasm and unity. The vibrant colors and festive spirit fill every corner with warmth and love. A glimpse into history reveals how even centuries ago, people recognized Hanukkah's importance. The late 19th-century wood engraving showcases the Maccabees' unwavering dedication in reclaiming their Temple from oppressors—an inspiring tale that continues to inspire generations today. Let's not forget one beloved aspect—Dreidel. This line engraving captures children engrossed in spinning these traditional tops—a playful activity that adds excitement to every gathering during Chanukah festivities. Finally, journeying towards Washington's Bellevue city unveils a mesmerizing sight—the Menorah adorned with all candles lit for Chanukah.
