How to Light the Menorah: 1. Get everyone around the menorah. 2. Light the shamash (“attendant”) candle. 3. While standing, recite the blessings found in the prayerbook. 4. Light the candles. On the first night, set one candle to the far right of the menorah, and add each night towards the left. Each night, light the newest candle first, and continue lighting from left to right. Add from right to left, light from left to right. 5. Place the shamash in its place on the menorah, and sing the “Haneirot Halalu” and/or “Maoz Tzur” Chanukah hymns. 6. Linger around the candles for about half an hour (except for Friday afternoon). Share some Chanukah stories with your family, enjoy a dreidel game, and indulge in some hot latkes!
