<holidayfyi-glossary slug="sufganiyah"></holidayfyi-glossary>A deep-fried jelly doughnut eaten during Hanukkah in Israel and by Jewish communities worldwide, symbolizing the miracle of oil that burned for eight days in the Temple of Jerusalem. Sufganiyot (plural) are typically filled with strawberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar, though contemporary bakeries offer elaborate fillings including chocolate, caramel, and pistachio. They are the dominant Hanukkah food in Israeli culture.
