Countdown questions
- Does this count down to the first candle?
- The date shown is the first evening of Hanukkah. This is a day-count calculator, so it does not supply candle-lighting times. Check the appropriate time for your location and observance.
- What if our gathering is on another night?
- Change the date to the evening of your gathering. Save that plan in Antici with a photo, its own time, and an optional reminder.
