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.
It’s our birthday and we’re still celebrating!
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 week we celebrate 129 years of the Forward. We’re proud of our origins as a Yiddish print publication serving Jewish immigrants. And we’re just as proud of what we’ve become today: A trusted source of Jewish news and opinion, available digitally to anyone in the world without paywalls or subscriptions.
We’ve helped five generations of American Jews make sense of the news and the world around them — and we aren’t slowing down any time soon.
As a nonprofit newsroom, reader donations make it possible for us to do this work. Support independent, agenda-free Jewish journalism and our board will match your gift in honor of our birthday!
