I was astounded to read that this rare event – Thanksgiving and Hanukkah – might not occur again for 79,000 years! Here’s why:
Well, almost never. If the Jews don’t ever abandon the calculations based on the Shmuelian calendar, Hanukkah will keep getting later and later — moving through winter, then into spring, summer, and finally back into fall — so that tens of thousands of years from now they will again coincide. But long before then the springtime holiday of Passover will have moved deep into summer, so be on the lookout for a memo with a calendar update in the next several thousand years.
But another source (A Jewish source) says it will be 2070AD! But it will be the next to last time.
You’ll notice that these dates are getting further and further apart. That’s not just FDR’s fault. Both the Gregorian calendar and the Jewish calendar are slowly drifting in relation to the actual solar year—but at different rates. After 2165, Chanukah would have completely drifted out of November—unless one of these calendars (or Thanksgiving) is changed.

WILLIAMS — Williams has already been hit with a cold blast and it isn’t winter yet. Spoiled Rotten Pet Boutique at 516 East Route 66 (near Goldies Route 66 Diner and I-40 Fleet Services) has stocked up on some winter wear for the pets. Until December 1 all non-food items are 30% off. They also just received a new line of crates. Along with the toys, winter wear and backpacks you are sure find something for the pet.
