With intermarriage on the rise among non-Orthodox Jews, more and more families are celebrating Hanukkah alongside other holidays, bringing non-Jewish loved ones into the fold, and adapting old traditions for a new era. Whether you’re spending your first Hanukkah with a partner of another faith or you’ve already mastered the interfaith juggling act, we want to know how you celebrate.
Take the survey below to share your old and new traditions — we hope to publish a selection in the coming days. Your responses may be edited for clarity and length.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
