About Hanukkah starts
Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish celebration beginning on the twenty-fifth day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple and the traditional account of oil lasting eight days. Each night, an additional candle is lit on the hanukkiah, and customs may include songs, blessings, fried foods, dreidel games, and gifts. Hanukkah usually falls in late November or December on the Gregorian calendar, though the exact date changes because the Hebrew calendar is lunisolar. timekit uses its shipped religious holidays data for the first day; observance begins at sundown the evening before.
