Hanukkah

[Tovah Silverstein]

When Hanukkah occurs

The dates of Hanukkah are determined by the Hebrew Calendar. Hanukkah begins at the 25th day of Kislev and concluding on the 2nd or 3rd day of Tevet (Kislev can have 29 or 30 days). The Jewish day begins at sunset, whereas the Gregorian Calendar begins the day at midnight. So, the first day of Hanukkah actually begins at sunset of the day immediately before the date noted on Gregorian calendars.

Hanukkah according to the Gregorian calendar

Hanukkah begins at sundown on the evening before the date shown (These are official dates).
