Chanukah/Hanukkah (Jewish)
December 10, 2020 - December 18, 2020
Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is an eight-day Jewish observance that remembers the Jewish people’s struggle for religious freedom. Hanukkah, which means “dedication” in Hebrew, begins on the 25th of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar and usually falls in November or December. Often called the Festival of Lights, the holiday is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.
