Happy Hanukkah
Tonight is the 1st night of Hanukkah. My book says "During the winter, Hanukkah is a light that warms and cheers us." Chris said the blessings on the first night over the Hanukkah candles. On the first night, a candle is placed at the far right end of the menorah (the candle holder). BUT BUT BUT...I see the candle at the far left....OH NO!! The one on the right is called the shammash. The very first light to be used to ignite the far left one (which supposed to be at the right). We do this eight days. On the eighth night, there will be eight candles plus the shammash on the menorah.
