Hanukkah is a Hebrew word, referring to the Jewish festival of lights.
Hannukah the word isn't known as this, but rather it refers to a holiday that is also know as this.
I Google it and Hanukkah translates to "dedication" in Hebrew! Which is kind of interesting.

I am only mentioning this because you have your language set as British English, not American English. But "z" in the middle of words like this is the American spelling, while British (and similar countries like Australia and New Zealand) would use an "s". So "symbolises" rather than "symbolizes". BUT this sentence is correct! This is a nit-pick, and only relevant if you are particularly attached to either dialect. Plenty of people mix spelling and words from both dialects, especially with the enormous reach of American media (books, movies, etc), so it would not be incorrect to do this.

No need to capitalise the word "nation" in this sentence. Only capitalise proper nouns, eg. "the United Kingdom" or "the Commonwealth of Australia". If you wanted to say the country of Israel or the nation of Israel, you would only capitalise the name (Israel) but not the qualifying words (country, nation, etc). You COULD capitalise the State of Israel though, as that is technically its official name.
The spirit of Jewish people will live forever, and the light will never be extinguished.
"Their light" (the Jewish people's light) or "its light" (the spirit's light) would flow better here.

Very good!
