Chanukah Is Just Around the Corner
We’ve now entered the Hebrew month of Kislev, and that means that Chanukah is just around the corner. Even as the nights get darker, longer and colder (in the Northern Hemisphere), we look forward to the increasing lights of Chanukah.
With the pandemic still keeping some people home, we are delighted to share that we’re just a click away and ready to help. From our how-to guide and handy fact list to our extensive audio/video library and stories section, we even have a special section dedicated to Chanukah in isolation (which we hope to retire soon!).
Our online Judaica shop is fully stocked with whatever you may need to celebrate the Festival of Lights in style. From candles to menorahs (including an all-in starter kit) and dreidels, we have everything you need to hold a Chanukah party at home.
With wishes for a joyous (and safe) Chanukah,

How can we connect to our loved ones, once they’ve passed? What do Jews believe about the afterlife? In this all-new ChabadU course, we take a glimpse behind the veil and get to understand Judaism’s take on the age-old question: What happens when we die? Join us for a four-part journey into the world to come.
The story how I became the rabbi in the city of Novosibirsk in Siberia.
How do we understand these disparities from a spiritual perspective? Why is life so unfair? Why are resources distributed in such a lopsided way, with some people having so much more than they need while others struggle for survival? How did inequality enter the world?
If you are meant to be my son or daughter, I cannot wait to hold you.
The crown serves as a reminder to strengthen our commitment to fulfilling the mitzvahs of the Torah.
My husband and I keep butting heads on important decisions.
The world can be a confusing place at times. Don’t be fooled by grand gestures designed to make a good impression.
Do you see your regular, everyday interactions as your own, unrelated to who you are as a spiritual person with a G‑dly mission?
This month, which ends with Chanukah, is a happy time in Chabad tradition.
The Etrog grows on its tree for an entire year.
It grows from the loving summer sunlight
and from the cold winter darkness.
It grows from the furious autumn winds
and from the caresses of spring rain.
From all that comes to it, it grows.
And that is beauty.
Be an Etrog.
