Hanukkah , Judaism 's eight-day Festival of Lights , begins this year on Christmas Day .
Some rabbis say the intersection of the two religious holidays provides an opportunity for interfaith engagement.
"It's others seeing you as you see yourself," says Rabbi Josh Stanton of Jewish Federations of North America .
Hanukkah always begins on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev , a date which occurs between late November and late December on the Gregorian calendar.
The term " Chrismukah " — signifying the overlap of the two holidays — had become a popular term before then.
Research by the Jewish Federations reveals a surge in Jews seeking deeper connections to their own traditions and community.
