Jews do not celebrate Christmas in the same way as Christians. In Jewish tradition, Christmas is not seen as a religious holiday, but rather a secular one that is associated with the birth of Jesus Christ. Instead, Jews celebrate Hanukkah, which is an eight-day festival that falls in December and commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem after it was reclaimed from the Seleucid Empire. Hanukkah is a time of celebration, family, and tradition, with its own special customs and rituals.
