This Saturday is the first night of Hanukkah

December 16 is the first night of Hanukkah 2006.

Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights or Festival of Rededication, is an eight day Jewish holiday that starts on the 25th day of Kislev,  which may be in December, late November, or, while very rare in occasion, early January (as was the case for the Hanukkah of 2005-2006). The festival is observed in Jewish homes by the kindling of lights on each of the festival’s eight nights, one on the first night, two on the second night and so on.
