This year, the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah will be celebrated from December 14 to 21, 2025. As every year, the Loubavitch movement in France organizes numerous Hanukiah lighting ceremonies across the country. The Essonne region is no exception. For all the Jewish community in France, Hanukkah is a special time—celebrating the miracle of lights, exchanging gifts, and enjoying traditional treats like donuts, latkes, and other classic pastries.
It’s the perfect opportunity for all the Jews in Essonne to come together and celebrate Hanukkah as a community across the various towns in the department where public candle-lightings are scheduled. Naturally, these celebrations are open to everyone — Jews and non-Jews alike — and free of charge.
