Share this experience along with your students! A brief overview of Kwanzaa: Kwanzaa is an annual celebration that emphasizes African family values and social principles, primarily recognized in the United States from December 26 to January 1. The celebration and its name were founded in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, an Africana studies professor at California State University, Long Beach, and an influential figure in Afrocentrism. Karenga derived the term kwanza, signifying “first,” from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, incorporating an extra a as the seventh letter to guarantee it contained sufficient letters for each of the seven children who were present at a previous celebration. The word Kwanzaa does not exist in Swahili. The concept of Kwanzaa originates from first-fruits celebrations in Southern Africa.

Hanukkah — which can also be written as Chanukah or through various transliterations from Hebrew — is the “festival of lights” in Judaism. For eight nights in a row, Jews come together with relatives and friends to light one more candle in the menorah — a multi-armed candelabrum. In Hebrew, Hanukkah signifies “dedication,” and this festival commemorates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem during the 2nd century BC, after a tiny band of Jewish warriors freed it from foreign occupying forces. Using the small amount of ritually pure oil discovered in the temple, they kindled the menorah — and it remained lit for eight days. The tradition of igniting a nightly candle, along with the focus on preparing dishes in oil like potato pancakes known as latkes, honors this astonishingly enduring oil. This comprises a series of tasks centered around the video “What is Hanukkah?”. The solutions can be located at the conclusion of the book.
