This year, Hanukkah (or Chanukah) begins at sundown on Thursday, December 7, 2023, and ends the evening of Friday, December 15, 2023 (eight nights). Also called the Festival of Lights, Hanukkah is celebrated with a nightly lighting of the menorah and the exchange of gifts. Celebrants enjoy traditional Jewish foods like latkes (fried potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly-filled doughnuts-yum!) for the holiday, and play games like spin the dreidel with gelt (money in yiddish- חנוכה געלט - and hebrew - דמי חנוכה).
