Hanukkah Begins tonight at Sundown



Happy Hanukkah to all of my Jewish brothers and Sisters.

Blessing for Lighting the Candles:
Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha‑olam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav vetzivanu l'hadlik ner (shel) hanuka. ( "Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to light the Hanukkah candle[s].")


Blessing for the Miracles of Hanukkah:
Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha‑olam, she‑asa nisim la‑avoteinu ba‑yamim ha‑heim ba‑z'man ha‑ze. ("Blessed are you, LORD, our God, King of the universe, who performed miracles for our ancestors in those days at this time.")


Barukh atah Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha‑olam, she‑hehiyanu v'kiy'manu v'higi'anu la‑z'man ha‑ze. ("Blessed are You, LORD, our God, King of the universe, who has kept us alive, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this season.")
