So they found a small jar that was only able to last 1 day but miraculously it lasted for 8 days.
"It's math": 8 - 1 = 7
Sounds to me like the miracle was for 7 days why do we celebrate 8 days of chanuka
I want all 100 answers!!!!

1 Considering that it would take another eight days to procure pure oil, the Jews divided the jug of oil—which contained enough oil for only one night—into eight equal amounts. They figured that they would light one-eighth of the oil each of the next eight nights. Miraculously, on each of the eight nights of Chanukah, the oil which should have lasted only one-eighth of the night lasted for the entire night.
ReplyDelete2 After they filled the menorah with oil on the first night, the jug remained full. The same happened on the ensuing seven days.
3 After the first night, when they entered the sanctuary the next morning to clean the menorah, they found that the cups of the menorah were still full of oil, despite having burned the entire night.
We celebrate the first day to commemorate the miraculous victory over the Greeks.
Happy Chanukah!!!
