Is It Hanukkah, Hannukkah, Hanukka, Hannukka, Hanukah, Chanukkah, Channukkah, Chanukka, Channukka or Chanukah?

Why Oh Why… Oh Why… Oh Why… are there SOOOOOOOOOOOO many ways to spell “one little old holiday?”  I don’t really know, however…

One of the  unique or unusual characteristics of Jewish Holidays are the multiple ways they can be spelled.  Many can be legitimately spelled in different ways, thus making it sometimes difficult to search for — Hanukkah is one of those holidays.

If you search the Internet the following spellings may be found for Hanukkah:

• hanukkah
• hannukkah
• hanukah
• hannukah
• hanukka
• hanuka
• chanukkah
• channukkah
• chanukah
• channukah
• chanukka
• chanuka

Hanukkah is also known as “The Festival of Lights” and “The Feast of Dedication,” and lasts for a period of eight (8) days.
