Chanukah and Ritual
| | |
Lighting chanukiyot. Eating latkes. Spinning the dreidel. Opening presents....Chanukah's rituals are endless...The mitzvah of Chanukah, the commandment at the heart of the observance of the holiday, is a candle for each man and his household. Today, we understand that minimally, each house should light a chanukiyah. Not each synagogue, not each town, and not each JCC, but each family unit.
