You have to admit, this is a wonderfully queer holiday. And a once in a lifetime occurrence. (You’ll have to wait another 77,798 years for it to occur again.)
In all seriousness, we are grateful to each and every reader of this blog for engaging, exploring, and yes, even disagreeing with us. And our heartfelt thanks today and every day for everyone who helps create a fully inclusive Jewish community.
Wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgivukkah!
In 2025, Hanukkah begins at sundown on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2024 and lasts until sundown on Monday, Dec. 22, 2025.
Though it is ostensibly about the purification of the Temple, Hanukkah really marks the political achievement of the Hasmoneans.
Jewish engagement with Halloween varies widely based on personal beliefs, denominational affiliations and community norms.
