By The Scribe December 7, 2017
The eight day holiday of Hanukkah begins on the 25th of Kieslev — which means that in 2017, the holiday begins on the night of December 12. On the holiday, do you give your children and relatives eight small presents, one for each night, or one large one — or none at all?
Parents and Hanukkah gift givers: how many presents are given to each child during the holiday?

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
