Chanukah MinisiteHow To Light The Menorah
One more candle every night, until all eight shine together.
Place The Candles
Put the candles in from right to left, adding one each night. The shamash, the helper candle, sits a little higher.
Say The Blessings
Light the shamash, say the blessings, then light the newest candle first, going left to right.
Let Them Shine
Let the candles burn at least 30 minutes after nightfall. On Friday, Dec 4 and Dec 11, light before the Shabbat candles. On Saturday, Dec 5, light after Shabbat ends.
The Miracle Of Chanukah
A Little Oil, A Great Light
Over 2,000 years ago, the Maccabees found one small cruse of pure olive oil in the Temple, enough for just one day. Miraculously, it burned for eight days. Chanukah celebrates that light, and the light each of us can share, one candle at a time.
