I would assume they do not do much. Hanukkah is a minor holiday only made large in America to compete with Christmas. It is not biblical - the events take place when the Romans were the dominant world power. It's Roman-controlled Syria that takes over Israel and eventually gets their asses handed to them by the Jews.

If they do have public displays/parties/TV specials then they would have to have at least 5 other such times of the year.

I'll ask my brother.
