Chanukah begins at sundown November 29 with the lighting of the first candle in the menorah. During this festival, which lasts eight days, one candle is lit in a candelabra, the menorah or chanukiah, on the first night, and on each succeeding night an additional candle is lit until eight are lit on the last night.
