About Hanukkah

Hanukkah, also spelled Chanukah, is the eight-day Festival of Lights. It recalls the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem in the second century BCE and the oil that lasted eight days. Each night one more candle is lit on the menorah, and many communities hold public lightings, family parties and programs with latkes, sufganiyot and dreidels.

The events here come from the community calendars of Jewish Federations, which list programs from synagogues, JCCs, schools and other local organizations as well as their own. A listing on a public calendar isn't always open to everyone, so check eligibility and registration with the host.

Questions

When is Hanukkah 2026?

Hanukkah 2026 (also spelled Chanukah) begins at sundown on Friday, December 4, when the first candle is lit, and lasts eight nights. The eighth candle is lit on Friday, December 11, and the holiday ends at nightfall on Saturday, December 12.

What happens at a community Hanukkah celebration?

Most center on lighting the menorah (the hanukkiah), one more candle each night. Expect latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), foods fried in oil to recall the oil that lasted eight days, along with dreidel games, music, crafts for children and, in many towns, a public menorah lighting.

Are Hanukkah events open to everyone?

Many are, and community menorah lightings usually welcome anyone who comes. Each listing says so when it's open to all; otherwise check eligibility, cost and registration with the host before you go.

How do I find a menorah lighting near me?

Use "Find Hanukkah events near you": it opens FedFinder's Event Calendar showing only Hanukkah programs, near the ZIP code or city you enter. Or browse the list on this page by state and province.

How do I list my Hanukkah event?

Hosts can submit an event on FedFinder's "Promote your event" page. A featured event appears at the top of the Event Calendar for people looking for events in its area.
