This video is a couple weeks old. Repoman 64 has his own calendar. But, ignore the calendar if you want, he always has some good tidbit. At the 16:45min mark he talks about the head of the month. For those who think we leave at the fall feasts, he makes the case that we are listening for a trumpet call any time in the month. If I look at Hebcal, the current month of Tishei ends Oct. 31.
I haven't finished watching yet, going to take a break, but here's a quote from the transcript.
There's a hundred ways to say happy Hanukkah to people, but one of the ways they say "happy Hanukkah" to people is “wishing you peace and safety”. I found that very interesting. Hanukkah starts December 25th and runs through January 2nd. They'll say “wishing you peace and safety, may your Hanukkah be bright”. And in fact last year in 2023 during Hanukkah mayor Adams of New York City called for Unity, peace, and safety with religious leaders. So it's very interesting they're using the phase during Hanukkah. And to start off Hanukkah 2024 King Charles III and Pope Francis will address the world on that day, which is standard procedure, so this happens every year, but Hanukkah doesn't land on the same timeline.
