Hanukkah, like all celebrations, will look a little different this year. Large gatherings around the World's Largest Menorah in New York and the second largest menorah in Brooklyn will be muted, but you can still immerse yourselves in the color and culture of the feast of lights at a drive-thru display. Light Up The JCC is presented by the Jewish Federation of Central New York. Drive through the JCC parking lot and celebrate the holiday season surrounded by themed lights and decorations. Don't forget to grab a goody bag and sufganiyot before you leave.

If you're on the West Coast, drive with pride and honk for joy at the Chanukah Car Parade and Menorah Lighting in Brentwood. Pups in the capital city don't have to miss out on the fun, either. Roll up to Hanukkah Drive-In Minyan and Candle Lighting Celebration, where each night throughout Hanukkah, the Adas Parking Lot will be illuminated with a laser light show celebrating each night of the festival of lights.

Cooking is a big part of Jewish cultural heritage. Fido would love to lend a helping paw in the kitchen during Hanukkah, but can he be trusted around all that human food? Try your hand at making some traditional and Kosher pet-safe treats with your pooch instead.

Applesauce - Applesauce has become the dip of choice to accompany latkes, a traditional Jewish potato pancake. It’s also great for dogs, as it's low in protein but high in fiber and antioxidants. Prepare your own unsweetened applesauce by combining 3.5 pounds of mixed apples (cored and roughly chopped) with 2 cups of water in a large pot. Bring it to a boil and then simmer for around 15 minutes. Once the apples have started breaking down, add a pinch of salt and blend it into saucy goodness. Like most delicious treats, a little goes a long way for Fido!

Gelt - Another Hanukkah tradition is to hand out gold and silver chocolate coins (gelt) to children. Unfortunately, chocolate is bad for dogs, so regular gelt is off the menu. Instead, melt a cup of carob chips (basically, dog-safe chocolate) with two teaspoons of coconut oil. Once the mixture is nice and runny, pour it out into a coin mold and refrigerate.

Gift-giving during Hanukkah grew in popularity during the 1950s. Rabbis promoted it as a way of making Jewish kids happy about their heritage, rather than feeling like they were missing out on Christmas. Although some families still give money or gelt instead, gifts have become part of the tradition. Why not treat Fido to a different gift every day of the holiday?

Day One

To get into the spirit of the occasion, Fido needs to look the part. Buy him his very own Yarmulke “Yap”-maka, handmade in the U.S.A.

Day Two

If the yarmulke isn't enough, this full Hanukkah costume is equipped with a tallit, or prayer shawl.

Day Three

When your mutt sees the family taking turns spinning the dreidel, he’ll want to join in, too. This plush dreidel toy sings and is marked with traditional letters from the Hebrew alphabet on each side.

Day Four

Avoid mishaps with your actual menorah and let him play with this "chewish" treat instead.

Day Five

If you observe the prohibition of “Bishul,” or cooking on Shabbat, let somebody else do the job for you. These personalized Hanukkah dog cookie treats look almost too good to eat, but that might not stop Fido.

Day Six

Raising a Jewish dog isn’t always a walk in the park. That’s why the entirely fictional Rabbis of the Boca Raton Theological Seminary have developed a guide. How to Raise a Jewish Dog is full of tongue-in-cheek advice on how to bring up a kosher canine. You can read it to Fido every night.

Day Seven

Splurge on this Up Country Hanukkah holiday dog collar. It’s decorated with Jewish imagery including a dreidel, Star of David and menorahs.

Day Eight

How about a practical and fashionable gift? This Happy Hanukkah pet hoodie is available in a different color for each day of the holiday, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your Rabbi’s face.
