This joyous home - centered celebration, the only Jewish observance not mentioned in the Bible, is almost as tradition-fill-ed as Christmas.

The children usually play for winnings of candy money, but when they play with Grandmother and grandfather the winnings are often real money! Although food plays a less im-p-jrtant role in Hanukkah than in some other Jewish observances, potato pancakes called Latke (lot’ka) are always served on at least one festive occasion and often every night during the eight-day holiday.

Why not serve Latke to your family during the holiday season? The pancakes may also be served as a nourishing meat accompaniment. say Purdue university extension foods and nutrition specialists.
