Chanukah

The Sages instituted the holiday of Ĥanuka in order to thank and praise God for delivering Israel. For this purpose, they formulated the Al Ha-nisim prayer. It is a mitzva to recite the full Hallel, with a berakha, on all eight days of Ĥanuka. The Sages also instituted a special Torah reading for Ĥanuka.

Ĥanuka, belongs to the realm of the supernatural, as it reveals the lofty stature of the Oral Torah. Therefore, we light candles for eight nights, adding a new candle each night.

Ĥanuka is the celebration of the Oral Torah. First, this holiday was established by the Sages, and second, the mitzva of lighting the candles was one of the first mitzvot the Sages enacted.

The longer our exile lasted, the longer and brighter the light of Israel and its Torah shone. It will continue to illuminate the world until we merit bringing new and pure oil from the olives of Eretz Yisrael, from which we will light the Menora of the Holy Temple

Although the Hasmonean revolt impeded the process of Hellenization, it did not stop it entirely.

As a result of the conquests, Greek culture spread throughout the world, consuming all other cultures and forming a single Hellenistic civilization

The intense pressure that the Greeks exerted against the Jews kindled a spark in their souls, and when the Greeks arrived in the village of Modi’in , Matityahu rose up and killed the Greek officer and his Hellenized Jewish collaborators.

after the destruction of the Second Temple, the Sages abolished Megilat Ta’anit. Only Ĥanuka remains of all those day, as the Sages explain, because of the unique miracle of the oil that it commemorates and the mitzva of lighting Ĥanuka candles that the Sages enacted to publicize the miracle.

It's not a mistake! Sukkot and Chanukah are really related.
