The last time was November 28, 2013. It will never happen again in our lifetime.

One physicist has calculated that, if the Jewish calendar is not revised, Thursday, November 28 will not fall during Hanukkah again until the year 79811, once it has drifted all the way around the cycle of the Gregorian calendar and back to November


However, since the Jewish day does not begin at midnight, but on the sunset before it, there will be two more years in which Hanukkah and Thanksgiving partially overlap, with the first night of Hanukkah beginning in the evening of Thanksgiving. These will be the evenings of Thursday, November 27, 2070 and Thursday, November 28, 2165.

What year did Hanukkah and Christmas coincide?

Hanukkah is an 8 day holiday. If you are talking about the first night of Hanukkah, then it has happened only four times in the last 100 years: in 1918, 1921, 1959 and 2005. If you are talking about years that Hanukkah overlapped with Christmas, there are more than 50 in the last 100 years. It overlapped in 2011. The next time will be 2016.

How often Hanukkah and Thanksgiving happen on the same day?

They never happen at the same time. The latest Diwal can start is mid November. The absolute earliest date Hanukkah can start is the last few days of november, but 90% of the time, it starts in December. A calendar of Diwali dates shows that it won't even be close to Hanukkah (with two weeks of each other) for at least the next 50 years.

Why do you study about Hanukkah?

We study about Hanukkah because it is part of our tradition and therefore is considered a Torah-subject. It is mentioned in such Torah-sources as the Mishna, the Talmud, and Megillat Taanit. Hanukkah has certain lessons to teach us, such as the value of self-sacrifice and the need to avoid assimilation. It is also a time of thanksgiving to God.
