ʻOku lau ʻa e Hanukkah ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi ʻaho malolo faka-Siu ʻe tolu ʻi he ʻIunaiteti Siteiti. Ka, ki ha ʻaho malolo mahuʻinga ʻi he multicultural ʻAmelika, ʻOku ʻikai faʻa lave ʻa Hanukkah ki he ngaahi maʻuʻanga tokoni rabbinic ʻo e kuonga muʻa. Ko e Talmud, ko e taha ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi tohi ʻa Suta ʻi he lao faka-Siu mo e fakamatala rabbinic, ʻOku siʻi ha meʻa ke lea ʻaki fekauʻaki mo e ʻaho maloloo. ʻI heʻene fetalanoaʻaki fakangatangata, ʻOku kamata ʻaki ha fehuʻi, "Mai Hanukkah?" ʻ a ia naʻe liliu ki he "Ko e hā ʻ a Hanukkah?"Ko ha fakaava ngali kehe ia, ʻo hange ko haʻane pehe “ʻOku ʻikai ke tau ʻiloʻi moʻoni e meʻa ʻoku Hanukkah fekauʻaki mo, ka ʻoku teu ke tau fakakaukauʻi ia.” Kapau naʻa ku tohi ʻeku fakahinohino pe ʻaʻaku ki Hanukkah, Te u kamata ʻaki ha fehuʻi kehe, “Ko e fe ʻa e Hanukkah?” Toe mahino ange, “Naʻe fili fefe ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Hanukkah?”
ʻOku fakafiefiaʻi ʻe Hanukkah ha meʻa pau ʻi he hisitolia. Lolotonga ʻ a e senituli hono 3 BCE ʻ i he Hahake Ofi Mai ʻ o e Kuonga Muʻá, naʻe maʻu ʻe he puleʻanga ʻAsilia/Kalisi ha malohi mo ha ivi takiekina lahi ʻi ʻIsileli. Ko e Maccabees, ko ha kulupu ʻo e kau Siu dissidents, taki ha angatuʻu lelei ki he moʻungaʻi tangata ko ʻeni naʻá ne nofoʻi ʻa e sivilaisé. ʻOku fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻe he talanoa Hanukkah ʻa e ikuna ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi hono toe maʻu ʻo e ngaahi meʻa fakafonua, pea ʻoku kei, Ko e taimi ʻo e taʻu ʻoku tau fakafiefiaʻi ai Hanukkah ʻoku ʻikai fekauʻaki ia mo e meʻa totonu naʻe hoko.

Ka ʻoku toe pau ange hono taimi. ʻOku haʻu ʻa Hanukkah ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e siakale ʻo e faʻahitaʻu momoko, loloa feʻunga ke ʻi he ʻuluaki luluʻi ʻo e mafana ʻo e ʻea mo e mama, ka naʻe feʻunga pe ke ʻoua naʻa tau anga ki ai. ʻOku taimi pau ke hiki hake kitautolu ʻe Hanukkah ʻi he taimi ʻe lava ke mafola ai ʻa e fakapoʻuli momoko. Fakahū: ko e Kātoanga ʻo e Ngaahi Māmá.
Ko ha hiki lelei ia ki ha ʻaho malolo! Akoʻi ha lesoni fakahisitolia mahuʻinga lolotonga ia ʻoku ne ʻomi kiate kitautolu ʻa e mafana mo e ʻamanaki lelei ʻi he fakakaukau mo e aʻusia moʻoni ʻo e mama. ʻOku fakahaaʻi fakatuʻasino ʻa e katoanga ʻo e mama ʻi he ngaue ʻo e mama teʻelango ʻi he po takitaha.

Maama malohi moʻoni. Pea ko hono ʻuhinga, ʻoku ʻikai ʻi hoku loto pe, ka ko e loto ʻo e taha kotoa. ʻOku ʻi ai ha popoaki ʻa e foʻi hiva ko ʻeni mo e lea fakatata ʻo e mama ʻi Hanukkah ke akoʻi kitautolu: Ko ha kakai fihi kitautolu ʻo e fakapoʻulí mo e māmá, ka naʻa mo e taimi ʻoku loloto taha ai ʻa e fakapoʻulí, ʻoku ʻi ai hotau fatongia ke fekumi mo fakamafola ʻa e mama ki he lelei taha te tau lava. Ko e meʻa ia ʻoku tau moʻui ʻaki, moʻoni.
