Chanukah is the main characteristic of the Jewish festival which is also know as the festival of colors. Every sunset for 8 days, one more candle is added in menorah those that already carry on glowing until at the last part of the week. The top point of menorah is forever glowing.
On the very first night of Chanukah, two candles are lit, the center one & one on the base. At the last part of the 8 days, it looks very beautiful. This is the ceremonial for the Chanukah’s lighting. The Chanukah menorah is also known as Hanukiyah. It has nine holders which carry candles. There are total eight candles, one for each night of Chanukah. The 9th candle is known as the SHAMASH.
Chanukah Menorahs is an object of creative structure which is designed for centuries. But not at all before has there been such type of artistic variety as nowadays. Judaica Mall has the credit of being talented to present hand made Menorahs from most excellent artesian. The Shamash is used to light up the other eight candles present on the menorah. The Shamash is lit up the first & then is used to light up the other candles on the menorah. The candles are positioned in the Hanukiyah from right to left. But when the candles are lit up, people lit up the candles from left to right.
At the time lighting the menorah, everybody assemble in a big hall room before sunset. People lit up the candles at the time of sunset & let them carry on until they go out on their own--which should be lighting for 40 minutes or more. The Chanukiyas sits near a windowpane for all the people to see. In the Jewish custom of Chanukah's, there has been a demand to advertise the wonder of Chanukah each and every night of the 8 day Chanukah period. This is no time to be hiding the menorah behind anything.
On the Chanukah menorah one candle is placed in the very far right location. Then Shamash is put in the middle of the menorah. At the time of lighting the menorah, Jews say all three blessings. One of the blessings is generally said only on the very first night of Chanukah, and other blessings are said on the rest of all other nights. Jews specially remember not to turn off the candles of menorah, but to keep on lighting.
