Hanukkah Dates: sunset, December 11, 2009 to nightfall, December 2, 2010
Hanukkah is a Jewish religious festival celebrated in many parts of the world.
Hanukkah, also known as Chanukkah, is the Jewish festival of dedication, often referred to as the festival of lights, and is an eight-day festival which starts on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. This is one of the most famous of the Jewish religious festivals, most likely due to its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews think of this festival as the Jewish Christmas, but in reality it is not so. Chanukkah is truly a holiday celebrating the victory of the revolution over the suppression of the Jewish religion.
