This is the Conversation Forum for Chanuka, Hanuka or Hannuka << The controversial view Subject: Eight days, seven days Posted Jun 13, 2000 by jqr   Posting 1 The holiday is seven days in Israel, eight days everywhere else, I believe to account for the difference in time zones around the world. In the USA lots of times it's spelled "Chanukah." I look forward to your articles about Purim and Tu B'Shevat, along with the other fall holidays.

You are getting confused with Pesach (Passover) and Succos (Tabernacles) which are 7 days in Israel and 8 days everywhere else.
