Chanukah is underway. We patted donuts, enjoyed the shows, but how to light Chanukah candles for Shabbos?

On Friday, the candles are lit, for the Sabbath candle lighting. Initially the Chanukah candles are lit and only the Sabbath candles.

The short guide to all Chanukah laws

Please note - because the Chanukah candles are lit early, larger candles rather than thin candles should be used to light them for at least 70 minutes.

When do they light?

Please note, there is no time beyond this hour, because it is Saturday. If you have been confused and the woman lit candles on the Sabbath before lighting the Chanukah candles, the men who have not yet received the Sabbath can light the Chanukah candles before sunset.

Lighting candles Saturday night

Immediately after returning from the synagogue at the end of the Arabic prayer, Havdalah is held and then lights Hanukkah candles. Some say, "Blessing the Holy of Holies," lighting the Chanukah candles, and only then performing the Separation Ceremony.

Where is the menorah placed?

The menorah must be placed prominently in order to create a miracle. Some place it in a special glass box outside the door or near a window to make it look out of the street.

Order of candle lighting

You have already bought a beautiful menorah, colorful candles and even the matches. But on which side do the candles light up?

Chanukah lights another candle every day, without counting the sun. That is, on the first day one candle and the sun light, on the second - two candles and the sun, and so on.

Rabbi Baruch Efrati explains that the common practice is to arrange the candles from right to left, and every day add a candle to the left. Begin to light from the leftmost candle, and continue to the right to the rightmost candle.

The Chanukah candle lighting is a must, and the candles are lit in every house where they live. It is the custom of the Spanish that only the landlord lights one menorah. The Ashkenazi custom is that each member of the household lights his own menorah.

Women must light a Chanukah candle like men. However, they are mandatory in lighting the husband or father. If alone, welcome.

What are the blessings?

After lighting, sing:

"These candles we light, about the miracles and the wonders and the savages and the wars that you made to our ancestors in those days at this time."

And they say:

"By your holy priests, and all these eight days of Chanukah, the candles are holy and we have no permission to use them but to see them only, to thank and praise your great name for your miracles and your wonders and your salvation."

Then you sing:

"Maoz Tzur Yeshua is good to you

Prayer House High School and there thanked him

From time to time, prepare a kitchen from the kitchen

Then I will finish the song of the dedication of the altar. "
