Hanukkah begins at sundown Wednesday night.
The 8-day Jewish celebration commemorates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians nearly 2,200 years ago.
This is the earliest start of Hanukkah since 2002.

Kislev can be shortened by the Rosh Hashanah observance rules, and Hanukkah starts 25 days after Kislev.

Does upper right hand corner mean evening? Sounds about right.

Right but like upper left would be morning then lower left = noon and upper right is ~ sundown and lower right is late night like on most calendars, right?
