Hanukkah this year (2026) begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, 2026, and ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12, 2026. Hanukkah spans eight nights of celebration on the Hebrew calendar (25 Kislev to 2 Tevet 5787). Hanukkah or Chanukah is the Jewish eight-day, wintertime “festival of lights,” celebrated with a nightly menorah lighting, special prayers, songs, and fried foods (latkes, jelly-filled donuts…). Happy Hanukkah - Chag Sameach!
