Hanukkah commemorates the victory of the Maccabees and the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem. The eight-day festival is a joyous occasion, so greeting Jewish friends, family and colleagues with warm Chanukah wishes will surely be welcomed.
Happy Chanukah
In Hebrew, say chag chanuka sameach, (pronounced chahg cha-nu-KAH sah-MAY-ach.)
In Israel, it is common to just say chanuka sameach. Some Israelis prefer chag urim sameach (pronounced chahg oo-REEM sah-MAY-ach), which literally translates to “Happy Festival of Lights.”
In Yiddish, say Ah Freilichin Hanukkah, (a happy Hanukkah). Less common but also beautiful: A Lichtiger Hanukkah, meaning a Hanukkah full of light.
And in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) you can say Hanukah alegre — Happy Hanukkah!
