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.
