Hanukkah

This year, to honor Susan Stamberg's memory, we reflect on her 34 years of performances that can still move us, make us laugh and bring us fresh meaning.

This is the first Hanukkah that Murray Horwitz will not be joined by the late Susan Stamberg on NPR's holiday special Hanukkah Lights. We talk with him about their 35 years of making the show.

In Steamboat Springs, Colo., a local artist made a menorah for Hanukkah from recycled snowboards. It's not the first time he has been inspired to infuse the holiday with a little mountain culture.

This historic menorah coincided with the opening of Chabad of Downtown SA’s new Jewish cultural center at 507 East Houston St., just around the corner from the Alamo.

The dreidel is best known as a beloved Hanukkah tradition. But it actually started as a European gambling toy, only acquiring religious significance in the new world.

Celebrate the festival of lights with Susan Stamberg and Murray Horwitz's favorite Hanukkah stories.

Christmas and Hanukkah rarely fall on the same date, but this year they do. One mixed-faith family in Oakland, Calif., doubles down for double whammy holiday.

Thursday’s commemoration included an interfaith menorah lighting at San Fernando Hall, a block away from San Fernando Cathedral. The menorah itself was provided by Temple Beth El.

It's a musical way to celebrate Hanukkah. Latkes Con Salsa — a Milwaukee project — mixes traditional Jewish melodies with Latin rhythms like bomba, salsa and merengue.

The story of Hanukkah is a complicated story that rabbis have long wrestled with. This year many Jews are trying to figure out what the story has to say to this moment.
