On the first night, we light the shamash (helper) and use it to light one additional candle. On night two, we light the shamash, plus two candles, and so on until the final night when we have a hanukkiyah full of light.

  • Festival of Lights
    Happy Hanukkah FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS Created by Ash Akhtar on behalf of the Rise Network What’s in this guide? What’s Hanukkah and what’s the story of Hanukkah? 03 How’s Hanukkah celebrated? 04 How to get involved? 07 Reflections on the Jewish holiday by Robert Cohen 08 Colouring activities for the kids and the adults 10 2 What is Hanukkah? Hanukkah is the Jewish Festival of Lights, and in 2020 begins on the evening of Thursday 10 December. The word 'Hanukkah' means 'dedication' in Hebrew. It celebrates a miracle that happened in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. What's the story of Hanukkah? The festival marks the victory of a group of Jews called the Maccabees over the Syrian Greeks, the most powerful army of the ancient world. At the end of the three-year war, the Maccabees recaptured Jerusalem and rededicated the temple. When the Maccabees rededicated the temple, they discovered a single cruse of oil (a cruse is a jar or a pot for holding liquid such as water or oil) with the seal of the High Priest still intact. When they came to light the eight-branched temple candelabrum, the menorah, they had enough oil to last only a day. But the menorah miraculously stayed alight for eight days, which became known as the miracle of the oil. • Here's a quick overview of the Hanukkah story. 3 How is Hanukkah celebrated? Over eight nights, families get together to say prayers, light the Hanukkah candles, eat special holiday foods, play games and give each other small gifts.
