Hanukkah always starts on the Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev, and lasts for eight days. It ends on the 2nd or 3rd of Tevet, depending on the year.

The Hebrew calendar does not line up with the Western calendar because it has a completely different leap year system that can shift holidays each year by 11 to 28 days. Hanukkah always begins in December or late November.

Here are the coinciding secular dates for the upcoming years. The candle lightings begin on the evening BEFORE the first date:

2013: November 27-December 5

2014: December 16-24

2015: December 6-14
