Welcome to The Seventh Day of ChanukahAt Jewish Path
...with dozens of discussions on important Jewish Holy Days including mysticism, responses to messianics, medos {self improvement} with stories and humor
Tonight is the seventh night of Chanukah. We light seven candles and say two Blessings after dark. This is Erev Yom Sh'lishi {02-10-5768}. First we light the server candle 'The Shamis Candle' in the center to use as a lighter for our seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth, third, second and first candles. We light the seventh, candle (that is the seventh candle from the right, not including the Shamis candle) then we light the sixth, fifth, fourth, third, second and first candles afterwards.
First Blessing over the lighting of the candle... Blessed are you O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us through His commandments and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah lights.
Second Blessing in remerance of the miracles... Blessed are you O L-rd our G-d, King of the universe, who brought miracles for our ancestors, in those days at this time {of year}.
