This year, the Jewish festival of Hanukkah will be celebrated from December 14 to 21, 2025. Time to stock up on donuts, spin your dreidels, and light your hanukkiyahs to mark the miracle of the lights—whether at home or in your city. Because, as every year, the Loubavitch movement hosts free public lightings that are open to everyone in most major French cities.
In Île-de-France, all departments are participating, including Val-de-Marne, where several towns will host giant Hanukkah menorahs for an evening. It’s a special opportunity for Val-de-Marne residents to come together and enjoy warm moments of celebration and community.
