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.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
