    It also means "Chanu", in Hebrew "they rested" on "kah", the 25th of the month. (In Hebrew, letters have numeric values.) The festival of Chanu-ka or Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. Since that's the day that the war against the Greek-Syrian army ended, it's the day the Jews "rested".
