Frequently asked questions
What is the traditional Hanukkah greeting?
Happy Hanukkah is always welcome. In Hebrew you can say Chag Sameach, meaning happy holiday, or the more specific Chag Urim Sameach, meaning happy Festival of Lights. Any of these makes a warm, respectful greeting.
What do you write in a Hanukkah card?
Start with Happy Hanukkah or Chag Sameach, then add a personal wish — for light, joy, warmth, or a season of small miracles. References to the menorah, latkes, or the Festival of Lights add a nice touch. Keep it sincere and it will land well.
Are flowers a good Hanukkah gift?
Yes. A cheerful, fresh arrangement is a lovely way to wish someone a happy Hanukkah or to thank a host for a holiday meal. Bright, warm blooms suit the celebration beautifully. Local florists across Toronto & the GTA can hand-deliver, often same-day.
When is Hanukkah?
Hanukkah is celebrated over eight nights, usually in December, though the exact dates follow the Hebrew calendar and shift each year. It's the Festival of Lights, marked by lighting the menorah one candle at a time — and it is a separate holiday from Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
