We light candles in testament that faith makes miracles possible. -Nachum Braverman
The core ritual of the eight-day Hanukkah holiday is the lighting of the menorah, or hanukkiah. This nine-stemmed menorah is lit each evening of the holiday after sunset, with one candle added each additional night.
Prior to lighting the candles each night, a series of blessings are recited. Most nights, you may light the candles at a time of your choosing, but on Friday and Saturday nights, the time is determined by the beginning and ending of Shabbat.
Wednesday, Dec. 25 (1 candle) - 5:58 p.m.
Thursday, Dec. 26 (2 candles) - 5:59 p.m.
Friday, Dec. 27 (3 candles) - 5:11 p.m.
