In our family only male members lit ( unless young female members had made a project in school). We light one candle the first night and then one additional candle every other night for a total eight nights. We also light one extra candle, to use for lighting and for reading since we have a tradition not to "use" the lights. We sing some songs about the lights and historical triumphs of the Jewish people and usually enjoy very oily foodsyekkishandyeshivishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360283326769930021.post-55559573486625034012009-12-01T14:29:39.160-05:002009-12-01T14:29:39.160-05:00BLD -
