Question

Answer 1

we light one candle the 1st night and add one more each night for 8 nights. they are put into the menora from right to left and then they are lit from left to right.
on the 1st night there are 3 blessings said, and then you light, the other nights, only 2 blessings are said. You can find them in any prayer book.
there is also a candle in the middle, not part of the 8 that is lit each night, called the shammash and you use that candle to light the other ones.
good luck!

Answer 2

Simple first is Hanukah the in the menorah on the first night put in one candle on the right then light it using the Shamash, then on the second night starting on the right, put in two candles the light it with the Shamash from the LEFT to the RIGHT, do the same for all 8 nights while reciting the blessings.

Answer 3

Chanukkah is not a very important religious holiday

Chanukkah is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. Many non-Jews (and even many assimilated Jews!) think of this holiday as the Jewish Christmas, adopting many of the Christmas customs, such as elaborate gift-giving and decoration. It is bitterly ironic that this holiday, which has its roots in a revolution against assimilation and the suppression of Jewish religion, has become the most assimilated, secular holiday on our calendar.

The only religious observance related to the holiday is the lighting of candles. The candles are arranged in a candelabrum called a menorah (or sometimes called a chanukkiah) that holds nine candles: one for each night, plus a shammus (servant) at a different height. On the first night, one candle is placed at the far right. The shammus candle is lit and three berakhot (blessings) are recited: l'hadlik neir (a general prayer over candles), she-asah nisim (a prayer thanking G-d for performing miracles for our ancestors at this time), and she-hekhianu (a general prayer thanking G-d for allowing us to reach this time of year). See Chanukkah Candle Lighting Blessings for the full text of these blessings. After reciting the blessings, the first candle is then lit using the shammus candle, and the shammus candle is placed in its holder. The candles are allowed to burn out on their own after a minimum of 1/2 hour.

Each night, another candle is added from right to left (like the Hebrew language). Candles are lit from left to right (because you pay honor to the newer thing first). On the eighth night, all nine candles (the 8 Chanukkah candles and the shammus) are lit. See animation at right for the candlelighting procedure. On nights after the first, only the first two blessings are recited; the third blessing, she-hekhianu is only recited on the first night of holidays.

Why the shammus candle? The Chanukkah candles are for pleasure only; we are not allowed to use them for any productive purpose. We keep an extra one around (the shammus), so that if we need to do something useful with a candle, we don't accidentally use the Chanukkah candles. The shammus candle is at a different height so that it is easily identified as the shammus.

Answer 4

First of all, you'll always have a "shamash" a seperate candle. This will not be on the same hight. Light. Then, on first night, candle on right. Second night, first 2nd from right, then right. Etc.

Answer 5

i'm not an expert but i think you light one additional candle each night of hanukah (and i don't know how to spell it either).
I thought it happened at sundown each day. Then on the eighth day they are all lit. I'm really just remembering something i learned a long time ago so it might not be exact.
