Ever since the Jews of Israel overthrew the Greeks of Syria, Jews all over the world have celebrated the victory during
the holiday of Chanukah. On the first night we light one candle, on the
second night we light two candles, etc., so that by the eighth night we
have eight candles burning brightly, reminding us of the eight days that
the oil burned in the Temple and of the Jewish struggle against
oppression.
