This year, both Christmas and Hanukkah coincide on December 25 for the first time in 20 years, creating unique opportunities for holiday celebrations and reflections.
Michael Pappas emphasizes the significance of this dual celebration: 'It's an opportunity for us to pause and to remember that we are all the common creation of being greater than us. And with that, that gives us new hope and new light in life.'
Yotam Daniel details Hanukkah's food tradition, noting that 'Most Jewish people call it sufganiyot. It's supposed to be fried dough. It's kind of like the American donut. We fill it with jam.'
The coexistence of Christmas and Hanukkah on the same date offers communities a chance to embrace both traditions, fostering unity and reflection during a significant time for many.
