Learn the traditions

Each night of Chanukah, make the holiday special and recall the ancient miracle of the Maccabee menorah by lighting one new candle.

To help you with this Chanukah essential, The Jewish Federations of North America offer a candle-lighting guide with text and tunes for the blessings.

There are lots of other great ways to celebrate the Festival of Lights as well: singing holiday classics like Ma'oz Tzur and Adam Sandler's Chanukah Song, playing dreidel games and learning holiday history with your kids, or viewing seasonal videos from the sacred to the silly.

We hope you'll find some great ways to celebrate the holiday in the resource links below.
