▷ When To Celebrate Hanukkah?

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrated on eight nights and days usually during the wintertime of each year. This holiday allows Jews around the world to come together and commemorate the victory of the ancient Jews over the oppressive Syrian-Greeks in the second century B.C. The holiday also serves as a celebration of rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem that was desecrated by the Syrian-Greeks.

The exact dates of Hanukkah change each year, as this holiday does not follow the standard solar or lunar calendar. Instead, it is tied to the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar one. Hanukkah marks the beginning of the month of Kislev, which is on the 25th day of the month. The eight nights and days of Hanukkah usually start around the middle of the Hebrew month of Kislev and ends around the end of the month. For example, if Kislev starts on the eighth, then Hanukkah would most likely start on the 24th, and end on the first night of Tevet.

In 2021, Hanukkah is expected to begin in the evening of December 10th and end in the evening of December 18th.

Another factor to consider when celebrating Hanukkah is the universal time-zone. In 2021, Hanukkah beings in the United States at 5:30 PM EST, but the date may differ in other parts of the world. For example, in Sydney, Australia, Hanukkah will begin at 11:30 PM AEDT on December 10th.

The exact date that Hanukkah begins should be noted in any Jewish community calendar as Hanukkah is a religious holiday that is important to note and celebrate.

Hanukkah is an important Jewish holiday that allows Jews to come together and remember a great victory from thousands of years ago. By looking at the Hebrew calendar and universal time-zone for a specific year, one can properly determine when to celebrate this holiday.
