Chanukah is a Jewish celebration which commemorates the re-dedication of the Temple by the Maccabees, and the miracle of a single jar of oil lasting for eight days, lighting the Temple's Menorah.

​

Chanukah is also called the Festival of Lights and Feast of Dedication.  

 

During Chanukah, it is customary to eat foods fried in oil. Potato latke (pancakes) are a Chanukah tradition.

​

In 2023 in Melbourne Mazon Australia distributed 160 "Latke Bags" to vulnerable families to allow them to make latkes for their Chanukah celebrations.
