What to know, watch, do and experience for Hanukkah in L.A. in 2022.
Here’s an eight-night crash course in how to celebrate Hanukkah, plus some conversational prompts: our gift to you to help make holiday parties a little less awkward.The celebration happens in the Jewish calendar every year on the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev. But because the calendar runs on a lunar cycle, , the dates shift from year to year. So don’t get used to Hanukkah overlapping with Christmas: it doesn’t always.
In 167 BCE a group of Jewish people called the Maccabees rebelled and within two years, the revolt succeeded and the Jews reclaimed the Temple.Hanukkah celebrates both the military victory, a battle in which an army of few triumphed over an army of many, and the discovery of a small jar of pure oil that should have lasted one day and lasted eight.
How do we light it? Well that’s a whole conversation in the Talmud , with two schools of thought from rabbis Hillel and Shammai, who often disagreed about how to interpret Jewish text.
