How many days until Hanukkah (first night)?

The story behind Hanukkah (first night)

Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, lasts eight nights from the 25th of the Hebrew month of Kislev, usually in December. It remembers the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in the 2nd century BCE, after the Maccabees' revolt against the Seleucid Greek empire.

According to tradition, only one day's worth of pure oil was found, yet it burned for eight days. Families light one more candle each night on the menorah, eat foods fried in oil such as latkes and sufganiyot, and children play with the dreidel. The date shown is the first night; candles are lit at sundown.
