The reason that Hanukkah lasts for 8 days is related to the holidayof Sukkot. Hanukkah lasts 8 days because during the Syrianoccupation, the holiday of Sukkot could not be celâ¦ebrated.

One of the Jewish religionâs most important holidays, Sukkot consists of seven days of feasting, prayer and festivities.
