A Hanukkah menorah, also called a “hanukkiah”, is a special candelabrum used during Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. It holds nine candles: eight to represent each night of Hanukkah and a central “helper” candle, called the “shamash”. Each night, one additional candle is lit using the *shamash*, marking the eight days of Hanukkah, which celebrate the miracle of a single day’s oil lasting eight days in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. The menorah is a central part of the holiday, symbolizing hope, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness.
The Kosher Hub offers a free printable Hanukkah candle blessing to use over the 8 nights of Hanukkah. This card in English, Hebrew and transliteration helps you teach your children the important blessing for lighting the menorah, creating meaningful moments each night of the Festival of Lights. Make this Hanukkah special by sharing the tradition with your family and deepening their connection to this cherished holiday.
