Jewish People Around the World Celebrate Hanukkah

Chanukkah is a Jewish religious festival celebrated in many parts of the world.

Hanukkah Dates: sunset to nightfall on Kislev 25th

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.

Israel celebrates Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is a National Holiday in Israel

Yom Kippur Date: October 7

Yom Kippur is a public holiday in Israel.

The name “Yom Kippur” means “Day of Atonement” and that pretty much explains what the holiday is. It is a day set aside to “afflict the soul,” to atone for the sins of the past year. This day is, essentially, your last appeal, your last chance to change the judgment, to demonstrate your repentance and make amends. Yom Kippur is the most important, the most sacred of any day in the Jewish year. Many Jews who do not observe any other Jewish custom will refrain from work, fast and or attend synagogue services on this day. Yom Kippur occurs on the 10th day of Tishri. In Israel, it is a day when the world stands still. Cars are not allowed on the road. Only the sound of children laughing as they ride their bicycles, the voices of prayer coming from the Beit Knesset. For 24 hours all places of entertainment, all local cable TV does not exist. One day totally free of car horns, telephone calls, email and polluted air.
