The term 'Hanukkah Observer' can be summed up as a JEW who observes the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. Hanukkah is an eight-day festival that commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. During this holiday, Jews light a special nine-branched candelabrum called a menorah and exchange gifts. The term 'JEW' is used to refer to someone who follows the religion of Judaism.
