Oh my goodness this was so long ago. LOL I think I'm referring to the Book of Prayers she was reading from. Thank you!

[@ColorMyWorld]

I have to watch this each year. I came back to my Jewish roots 2 years ago. Before that my late Husband did this. I study with a Torah Partner, but at my age I always have to look things up. Have a safe and happy Hanukkah. I pray for a good year. May our Hostages be released back to their families.

[@rosequartz4102]

Thank you for this video and tutorial. I wanted to be Jewish since I was 10 and read Number The Stars. Now I'm 38 and decided to just jump in with both feet and my 3yo. This was really helpful, especially since I learn best by listening and memorizing. I didn't quite get the song words but because you put the song name, I can find it and follow along and practice. Practice is REALLY important because this year the last two nights fall while I'm at my parents who have consented to stand there while I celebrate Hannukah (next to a Christmas tree). As long as I respect their traditions, they'll respect mine, and as the ten commandments say, Honor thy Father and Mother. So I am, and they'll tolerate me, respectfully.

Thank you Sonya! Are you an oil or candle menorah 🕎 user? We use an oil menorah! Thank you for being here: you are amazing!

Hi Sonya!

[@DavidWilliams-wr4wb]

Thank you for helping me with the Jewish side of my soul that has been fighting through the Christian part of my soul that was handed to me , my father is Christian and my mother was Hebrew but was ashamed so to enjoy Hanukkah I always had to go to my aunt who was not ashamed and I am not ashamed, and I want my daughter to learn about our heritage without being ashamed. I guess here is a good start , I felt a inner peace while I enjoyed the video while I lit the menorah and then the blessing and had latkes, I’m on a job by myself and this helped me find some peace and gave me company with my dinner and I didn’t feel lonely 😊thank you ! 🙏🏻🕎

Thanks for this lovely video. Happy you put the blessings and song too. It reminded me of the shul (that has been closed for months now). To answer the "what's in my Hanukkah box" I have this: Dubble Bubble snow ball gum kosher (Dollarama), Hershey kisses cookies n creme, M&M mint, blue Mike & Ike (all Walmart). I try to find Blue, White or turquoise wrappings 😉

[@frumitup]

Hi Poppy! Thank you for your comment:) I am delighted the could help! Your Hanukkah box seems like a lot of fun: I LOOOVE colour themed box 📦: it sure sounds like yours looks BEAUTIFUL! on a side note: what do you prepare as meals for Shabbat Chanukah: is it meat as usual or do you prepare something special like fried food or milk? Thank you for sharing your “Hanukkah box” idea: I love it!! Stay safe and blessed!

[@Poppy-]

@@frumitup We'll have fried Chinese lemon chicken! And latkes of course, with smoked salmon, for other meals. Magen David cookies. You can bake chocolate chip cookies, substitute chips for white chocolate ones and put a bit of blue food colouring in the dough 🍪. Make it festive. How about you? Any special meals for Hanukkah?

[@frumitup]

@@Poppy- I LOVE ❤️ ITTTTTTT!!! We eat regular Shabbat food with latkes!! And we add the setting of the table and accessories To make it more Chanukah-ish!! I wish I could see your creations: they seem AMAZING!! Chanukah 🕎 Sameach sweet Poppy!

Shalom Sarah Malka and followers! Regarding the hand one lights with: does it make a difference if one is left handed, since that is the predominant hand?

[@frumitup]

Hi Illume! Thank you for your great question! You are absolutely right! If a person is a left handed he should hold the lighting candle or shamash with his left hand 🤚! Are you a left handed person? Do you use oil or candles for your menorah 🕎? Thank you so much for your great question! Stay safe and blessed Sara Malka

[@IllumeEltanin]

@@frumitup I am a southpaw, which is why I always wondered. My chanukkiahs have always had candles, but I have drooled over oil menorahs for years. One day I'll be able to afford one.

[@frumitup]

It’s a really good question and I am happy you asked! For the oil menorah 🕎 you can find some for 5$ ( the one in the video with the cups included was less than that!!) are a good 1st step! Do you have access to them? Please let me know how I can help! Thank you so much for your comment! Stay safe and blessed!

@@frumitup hmm... I've never heard of 1st Step. I'll need to search them out.

Hi! For the oil menorah that I have shown as a good /affordable first oil menorah: here’s some links: www.judaica.com/safe-t-oil-menorah-18673.html. 9$ www.judaica.com/golden-oil-menorah-with-glass-cups-20745.html?refSrc=18673&nosto=nosto-page-product1 (6$) Walmart has it too: www.walmart.com/ip/Ner-Mitzvah-Oil-Menorah-with-Glass-Cups/290216024 In local kosher groceries you can get them on sale for 2-3$ I hope it helps!!
