"Latkes For
Chanukah"
Why We Eat Latkes on Chanukah:
Oil played a significant role in
the Chanukah story—the small jug of oil that miraculously provided fuel for the
Temple Menorah for eight days. We eat foods that reflect the significance of a holiday—such
as matzah on Passover and apple dipped in honey on Rosh Hashanah—and Chanukah
is no exception. For at least the last thousand years, Jews have traditionally
eaten oily foods on Chanukah. Among the
most popular Chanukah dishes are fried potato latkes (pancakes).
