About Hanukkah 2028

Hanukkah is the eight-day Jewish festival of lights, celebrated by lighting one more candle on the menorah each night. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

The festival begins at sundown on the evening before the 25th of Kislev, so the countdown runs to about 6 pm local time on the evening of the first candle. The date changes each year on the Gregorian calendar.
