Quoting “liberally” from that page……

Hanukkah for the year 2022 is celebrated/ observed on sundown of December 18 ending at sundown on Monday, December 26.

Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish festival with the first day known as Chanukah, Festival of Lights, and Feast of Dedication. In the Jewish calendar, the first day of Hanukkah is on the 25th day of the month of Kislev. In the Gregorian calendar, Hanukkah may occur between late November to late December.

Why do Jewish holidays start at nighttime?

According to the Torah, the story of creation in Genesis says “And it was evening, and it was morning day one”, “And it was evening, and it was morning; the second day”, thus night comes before day. So for the Jewish calendar all days begin at nightfall and end the next day at nightfall including holidays.

If you want to learn more about how to actually light a menorah (which apparently isn’t a menorah, technically, even though everybody calls it that), go here:

And left to right, right to left, add lit candles, subtract lit candles – there is a certain amount of flexibility, although some aspects are basically requisite (kosher).

Hanukkah reminds me of Melania, Ivanka, and Jared, in particular, because the ladies always looked so nice in those Hanukkah pictures from the White House.
