A wish for a blessed Hanukkah season to our Jewish friends and their families!

Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of rededication

How often does the first night of Hanukkah fall on Christmas?


On the Jewish calendar, which relies on lunar months that last either 29 or 30 days, Hanukkah begins on the same night every year: the 25th of the month of Kislev. But the Jewish calendar doesn’t quite line up with the secular, solar-based Gregorian calendar. As a result of a differentiation in calendar systems, Hanukkah’s start date in the United States fluctuates wildly year to year, falling anywhere between November 27 and December 26 on the Gregorian calendar.
