Hanukkah is signed by holding up both your open hands and tucking the thumbs in, as if making the ASL number 4 sign. Start by holding the palms side by side, then as you swing both '4' hands apart, your fingers spread, looking like the flames on a candle.
Both '4' hands signify the eight days that this religious feast is celebrated by certain Jewish communities.
The sign for Hanukkah can be taught in context during the holiday season or when discussing different religions.
