The Jewish festival Hanukkah is characterised by traditional food, games and gifts. During the eight days of Hanukkah, people meet and greet each other with wishes of Happy Hanukkah by offering them various gifts. According to Jonathan Sarna, professor of American Jewish history at Brandeis University, American Jews used to exchange gifts on Purim. Still, in the late 19th century, there was a shift from Purim to Hanukkah. Since then, the exchange of gifts has become a common practice during Hanukkah. As you celebrate Hanukkah 2022, we at LatestLY have curated a list of gift ideas for the festival. Hanukkah 2022 Dates: Know All About the History, Significance and the Celebrations of the Jewish Festival.
