Tips for Hanukkah captions

• Keep it short: the first few words show in the feed, so lead with the best line.
• Match the photo: a menorah shot suits a cozy caption, a latke plate suits a funny or food one.
• Add a greeting: end with Happy Hanukkah or Chag Sameach so the post reads as a wish too.
• Eight chances: Hanukkah 2026 runs from sundown December 4 to nightfall December 12, so you can post a different caption each night.
