Which way do you light Hanukkah candles?

Answer 1

The first candle goes into the holder furthest right on the menorah with the shamash (the attendant candle, used to light the others, placed in its own holder which will be either higher, lower or otherwise separate from the others. On the second night, another candle is placed in the next holder to the left. The newest candle is lit first, then the next to the right and so on.

Answer 2

Preferably the top, where the little string protrudes.

On the first night of Hanukkah, the single candle is placed at the right-hand end of

the line-up. On subsequent nights, the same number of candles as on the previous

night are set up in the same places, and an additional one is added just to their left.

Concerning the order in which the candles are lighted, there is some difference of

opinion in Jewish Law. The majority opinion, and the practice of most modern Jews,

is to light the newest candle first, and to then light the rest from left to right. So

I guess you'd say that as Hanukkah goes on, a younger candle is always lit before

an older one.

Answer 3

you put the candles in your menorah from right to left, while you light them left to right.

Answer 4

The Shamash goes in the middle, and you add one candle each day starting from the left.

Answer 5

You always add candles starting from the right, but you light them starting on the left

Answer 6

You light the one on the far right (as well as the shamash, or helper candle, which is usually on the side or in the middle).

Answer 7

Neither. It is the candles that are lit.

The prevailing opinion is that they are lit in order
from the newest to the oldest.

Answer 8

Place them on the right side of the menorah and light them from left to right.

Answer 9

From left to right.
