December 7, sundown - December 15, sundown 2023 |
Begin by clicking on the number in the box of the day of Hanukkah you wish to light a candle for. A candle will appear on top of the numbers, drag the candle to the Menorah and place the candle in the appropiate canndle holder beginning on the right side and moving to the left. The candle you will be placing on the Menorah has already been lit from the center candle, which represents YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH, The Light of the World! WHAT IS THE SHAMISH? After the temple was recovered, the temple menorah was lit. It was never to be extinguished but there was only enough oil to last one day. It took eight days to obtain more oil. When they returned with the oil, to their surprise, the lamp was still burning. We light candles in our Hanukkah menorah for eight nights to remember this miracle. The candle which stands higher on the menorah is called the shamish. It is used to light the other candles during Chanukah. It symbolizes YAHUSHUA, The Light of the World! The first night of Chanukah we light the servant and use it to light one other candle. The second night the shamish and two other candles are lit, etc. etc., until on the eighth night all nine candles (including the Shamish) are lit.
