Dec. 3 marks the sixth night of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish Festival of Lights.

It commemorates the story of the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and includes lots of traditions, including food, lighting candles and playing the game of dreidel — which is like a spinning top.

But there are lots of ways different families celebrate.

The Show caught up with state Rep. Alma Hernandez of Tucson to talk about her family’s traditions.
