Can Hanukkah start on Saturday?
Yes it can. According to the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah always begins on the same date, the 25th of Kislev and so if that day happens to fall on a Saturday then it remains the first day of Hanukkah. This is not such a problem as it might at first appear, because Hebrew days begin at nightfall rather than at midnight. This means that if the first day of the festival is on a Saturday, it begins at nightfall - and as soon as three stars are visable in the sky on Saturday night, Shabbat is over and festivities can take place. It becomes slightly more complex if the 25th of Kislev falls on a Friday night, as this will be the beginning of Shabbat - and observant Jews cannot perform tasks such as lighting candles once Shabbat has begun. To get around it, we simply light the candles on the hanukiyah (hanukkah menorah) and say the blessings before lighting the Shabbat candle, after which we observe the law banning us from carrying out melachot (the activities to be avoided on Shabbat), whereas any other day we light the hanukiyah after nightfall. This happened in 2009, in fact, or 5770 as it was on the Hebrew calendar.
