What do Jew do to Celebrate Hanukkah?

Answer 1

We light the Menorah (an eight-branched candelabra) each evening of Chanukah at around sunset. On the first night, we light a single light, on the second two and so on until all eight candles are lit on the last evening.

Many people prefer to use olive oil to light their Menorah, rather than candles.

There are special blessings to say before lighting the Menorah.

Children should light their own Menorah.

We add a special paragraph to the daily prayers, acknowledging the miracles of Chanukah.

We also eat oily foods, to remind us of the miracle of the oil. Classic menus include "latkes" (potato fritters) or jelly doughnuts.

Children play "dreidel" a game with a special spinning top with four Hebrew letters on it. Parents give their children pocket money, called Chanukah gelt.
