Why does every other calendar (including the Holidays in Israel g-cal) say Monday 12/22 (tonight) is the last night of Chanukah?
The Jewish day begins the night prior, in 2025 we lit the eighth and final Chanukah candle on Sunday Dec. 21. Monday Dec 22 is the last day. That means that Chanukah ends at nightfall tonight.
