This year, something truly unique happens as Christmas Day and the first night of Hanukkah coincide, a rare event that last occurred nearly 20 years ago. These two holidays, despite their distinct origins, share deep historical and theological connections, symbolizing themes of light, hope, and divine intervention. Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple and a miraculous oil story, while also revealing its link to the advent of Jesus, thus bridging cultural and religious narratives.
