Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, is an eight-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE. It is also known as the Festival of Dedication or the Feast of Dedication. Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days, starting on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev and ending on the 2nd day of Tevet in the Hebrew calendar.



Hanukkah is a celebration of the Maccabees’ victory over the Syrian-Greeks in the 2nd century BCE. It is also a celebration of the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. The Maccabees were a Jewish rebel group that fought against the Syrian-Greeks in an effort to preserve their religion. The Maccabees’ victory is celebrated by lighting the menorah, a nine-branched candelabrum, one candle each night during the eight-day holiday.



Hanukkah 2023 will begin in the evening of Sunday, December 24 and will end in the evening of Monday, January 1.

Hanukkah 2023

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Hanukkah is a time of family, friends, and of course, lighting the Menorah. As we approach the year 2023, we are beginning to look forward to Hanukkah and what it will bring.

What is Hanukkah?

Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish festival that occurs in the winter, usually from late November to late December. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 165 BC, where a small band of Jews called the Maccabees fought off a much larger Syrian-Greek army. The Maccabees were successful, and when they returned to the temple, they found only enough oil to light the Menorah (the seven-branched candelabra) for one night. Miraculously, the oil lasted for eight nights, giving them enough time to prepare more.

What is the Significance of Hanukkah in 2023?

In 2023, Hanukkah will take on greater significance as it will be the first Hanukkah to be celebrated after the centenary of the Balfour Declaration of 1917. This declaration was a letter from the British government that promised the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. As such, Hanukkah 2023 will be a time to celebrate the progress made over the last 100 years and to look forward to the future of the Jewish people.

How is Hanukkah Celebrated?

On Hanukkah, special prayers are said and the Menorah is lit each night. Many celebrate by giving gifts to family and friends, eating special foods like latkes and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts), playing dreidel games, and telling the story of the Maccabees.

What Does the Future Hold for Hanukkah 2023?

Hanukkah 2023 will be a time to celebrate the strength of the Jewish people and to look forward to the future. It will be a time to reflect on the progress made in the last 100 years and to look forward to the opportunities that the future will bring. It will be a time to celebrate the blessings of freedom and to look forward to the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
