Hanukkah is the Festival of Lights. This eight-day holiday celebrates when the Jewish people reclaimed the Holy Temple, having found oil supposed to only last one day that miraculously lasted eight days. Hanukkah is a relatively minor holiday from the perspective of Jewish tradition, its importance is often magnified due to its proximity to other major December
celebrations.

Founders Day
2025-12-29
Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity was inspired by Richard J. H. Gottheil, a professor of languages at Columbia University and a leader in the early American Zionist movement. On December 29, 1898, Professor Gottheil gathered a group of Jewish students from several New York City universities to form a Zionist youth society. The society was called Z.B.T. Just more
than 125 years later, Zeta Beta Tau is proud to be the world’s oldest and largest Jewish fraternity.
