• Chanukah Begins Tonight; Kindle One Light this evening

The eight-day festival of Chanukah [http://www.chabad.org/6218] begins tonight. In commemorartion of the miracle of the oil (see "Today in Jewish History [http://www.chabad.org/225034]" for Kislev 25) we kindle the Chanukah lights -- oli lamps or candles -- each evening for eight days, increasing the number of lights each evening. Tonight, the first night of Chanukah, we kindle one light. (In the Jewish calendar, the day begins at nightfall; this evening, then, commences the 1st day of Chanukah).

On the 1st night of Chanukah, we recite three blessings before lighting; for text and audio of the blessings, click here [http://www.chabad.org/219029].

The icon below displays the ideal Chanukah lighting time for your location; the lighting can be done, however, later in the evening as well. For more on Chanukah lighting times, click here [http://www.chabad.org/224506]. (If no time is displayed, click on icon to set your location.)

For additional Chanukah observances, see Laws & Customs [http://www.chabad.org/225021] for tomorrow, Kislev 25.
