Chanukah Observance
My family observed the Chanukah in our own special way considering we don't have rabbis here in the Philippines to guide us.

We lighted 8 candles one candle each day, and every day as we lighted those candles, we read the Macabees glorious triumphs over the pagan forces trying to annihilate the Faith.

We hope someday we can have our own menorah to be used on ocasions like this.

That was a wonderful and informative video. It would have been nice to talk about what the 8 days means.

You can find the glass cups in any Judaica store, you can also try the kosher section in your local supermarket.

Oil menorah
We acquired an oil menorah for the first time ever & are so delighted with it! We love the idea of using a more traditional variation now than our previous candle menorahs of years past. LOVE this holiday!

What Day exactly
Do you begin lighting at sundown today or not until the first full day. If I light today then the 8th day is 1day short of the 28th?
