In the Hauts-de-Seine region, many towns are hosting public menorah lightings to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. From December 14 to 21, 2025, you can enjoy these festive celebrations near your home—all free of charge.
As is the case throughout France, the Loubavitch movement from the Hauts-de-Seine region will once again be hosting public Hanukkah menorah lightings in numerous towns to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanukkah. In 2025, Hanukkah falls from December 14 to December 21, and true to tradition, Jews around the world will light a new candle on the famous Hanukkah menorah each evening. And since it’s a time for gathering and shared celebration, why not do it openly and publicly!
The 92 department is one of the few in the Ile-de-France region to offer public lighting every day it's possible, i.e. all week long, except Fridays, when the entrance to Shabbat prevents the event.
