The specific timing for kindling the Hanukkah lights centers around the Jewish calendar date and sunset. Observance begins on the 25th day of Kislev and continues for eight nights. The lighting occurs each evening, signifying the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days instead of one.
This tradition holds significant cultural and religious importance. It serves as a reminder of resilience, faith, and the triumph of light over darkness. Observing the ritual strengthens communal bonds and connects individuals to a rich historical narrative.
