How To Light a Hanukkah Menorah
1. Buy or make a Hanukkah Menorah (also called a Hanukkiah). The Menorah should have eight candle holders in a row and a separate candle holder for the "Shamash." The Shamash candle is used to light the other eight candles since it is forbidden to use the Hanukkah lights for any purpose other than viewing.
2. To best publicize the miracle, the Hanukkah Menorah is ideally lit outside the doorway of your house, on the left side when entering. If this is not practical, then the Menorah should be lit in a window facing the public thoroughfare. If the Menorah cannot be lit by the window, it may be lit inside the house on a table, which at least fulfills the mitzvah of "publicizing the miracle" for members of the household.
3. The Menorah should preferably be lit immediately at nightfall. If necessary, however, the Menorah can be lit late into the night. It is best to wait until all members of the household are present to light the Menorah. The Menorah should remain lit for at least 30 minutes after nightfall. On Friday afternoon, the Menorah should be lit before sundown.
4. On the first night, place one candle in the Menorah's far right (as you face the Menorah) candle holder. Another candle is placed for the Shamash (helper candle). Say the blessings and then light the candle using the Shamash candle.
5. The second night, place two candles in the Menorah's far right (as you face the Menorah) candle holders. Another candle is placed for the Shamash (helper candle). Say the blessings and then light the candles using the Shamash candle. Light the left-most candle first and then light in order, from left to right. Follow this procedure for each night of Hanukkah. While lighting the candles themselves, Hanerot Halalu is traditionally recited. Once the candles have been lit, Maoz Tzur is traditionally sung.
Tips:
Allow each child to light their own Hanukkah menorah. Even three and four-year-olds can light candles with help. Line the table on which the menorahs stand with aluminum foil. It is really beautiful to have a group of Menorahs all lit together, especially on the eighth night.
Sing Maoz Tzur and other Hanukkah songs together after lighting the Menorah.
Play the dreidel game together after lighting the Menorah.
Eat Hanukkah food, like latkas and donuts, together after lighting the Menorah.
Invite relatives and friends to light the Menorah with you, and celebrate together with Hanukkah songs, games and food.

HANNUKAH MENORAH & DREIDEL SET
Home > Hannukah Menorah and Dreidel Set
My modern Hannukah designs are now available as a Menorah and Dreidel Set. Using my signature theme of Saturn’s rings, I created a modern Hannukah menorah. The magnetic candle holders can be moved so the menorah has a different look every night. Then I designed a transparent base to showcase the menorah beautifully encircling my contemporary dreidels. The dreidel magically looks like it is floating inside the menorah. The dreidel and menorah can also be bought separately.
SATURN MENORAH
This disc shaped menorah is beautifully crafted in stainless steel, anodized aluminum and neodymium magnets using Laura’s signature themes of discs, inspired by the rings of the planet Saturn. The magnetic candle holders can be moved so that every night the Menorah has a different look.
