Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that lasts eight days and the ways it’s celebrated vary widely, Rabbi Menachem Creditor, Scholar-in-Residence at UJA-Federation of New York, told InsideEdition.com. “The way that we observe Hanukkah has a lot of diversity, depending on what kind of Jew you are or where in the world you find yourself, but one of the commonalities is that it's a tradition to light the candles and to place them facing the outside world,” he said.
