Chanukah: A quick how-to
- Chanukah begins this Sunday night (Dec 2, 2018)!
- It is a Mitzvah to light the Menorah every night of Chanukah, ideally at nightfall or soon after. Before kindling the candles we recite its special blessings.
- When Chanukah falls on Friday night, we light the Chanukah candles before lighting the Shabbat candles.
- When Chanukah comes out on Saturday night, we must wait for Shabbat to end at nightfall (this year at 6:00 pm in the Clear Lake Area) before kindling the Menorah.
- See www.JBayArea.org/Chanukah for a complete Chanukah guide, including the blessings for lighting the candles.
Wishing you a joyous and bright Chanukah!
