While Hanukkah falls on different dates every year on the Gregorian calendar you’re probably familiar with, it begins on the same day every year on the Hebrew calendar: 25th of Kislev.

The annual neighborhood event, hosted by the Chabad Jewish Center of FiDi, will be 3-5 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 14, and will feature latkes, hot chocolate, live music, arts and crafts, face painting and a musical performance by the FiDi Hebrew School. The celebration is free, but an RSVP is encouraged.
