Thanks for sending this video. My eyes are full of tears and my heart is ponding with joy. I used to sing this song, in iddish, when I was a little girl. Now, as time flew, you´ve sent me back to my parent´s home again. Happy Chanukakah

Just so beautiful and inspirational...

Why can't someone invent a candle that lasts all day for menoras, or an idea for candles that last for eight days. mine hardly last the night.
|
Thank you for this beautiful site
|
Would it be acceptable to use Oil candles? that way they will last for DAYS not just half an hour. I wish Hanukkah could be lit up for the whole 8 days
|
Although I'm not Jeiwish, I think this is a beautiful holiday for the jews, and I love reading and learning about it. I never knew anything about it before, and I thank you for this website. And Happy Hanukkah to all of you.

Why do we place candles on the right, but light from the left?
|
I wish the light from the menora with spread to all good people in the world also to the meeting in Copenhagen for a better new world.
|
thank you so much for this site I live in Tx and do not have any place to go to worship and celebrate the feasts and festivals so I heavily rely on what I can find online Thanks again
|
There is a Talmudic rule, "every turn that you take should be toward the right." When we light the right candle on the first night, and then each night light toward the right, we are in accordance with this custom.

Where to obtain the oil orthe candles?Thank you.
|
You can use regular olive oil like you buy in the grocery store. For candles, you can use any candle that burns long enough to stay lit for at least half an hour into the night.
|
I never knew to much about hanukkah thank you for the web site and all the information. If we could all just learn a little more about each religion the world will be a better place.
|
Thank you for refreshing my memory of how to light correctly!. Happy Chanukkah!
|
What time should the candles be lit?
|
Most communities light the menorah shortly after sunset. In other communities, the menorah is kindled after nightfall. For more information please see When to light the Menorah

Fantastic, the candles from Chanukah, the candles from Yerushalayim, the candles to illuminate to world. Mazal Tov and Brachot from Hashem
