This year, Hanukkah began on the evening of Sunday, December 2, and will end on the evening of Monday, December 10. Hanukkah is often referred to as the “festival of lights,” which serves to remind people of the miracle that occurred. By the way, Hanukkah means “dedication.”
The Bronx Chronicle wishes our readers happy Hanukkah celebration over the next week.
