Happy Hanukkah…

Thank you so much! The game is Dreidel! There is a song about the game!

“ I have a little dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I shall play
Oh, dreidel, dreidel, dreidel
I made it out of clay
And when it's dry and ready
Then, dreidel I will play
It has a lovely body
With legs so short and thin
And when it gets all tired
It drops and I will win”

Hi, each night of Hanukkah, we light candles in a menorah, lighting one candle the first night, two the second night, and so on, until all eight nights have concluded.

Every night we give a present or receive.

Hanukkah celebrates the "miracle of the oil," where a small amount of oil, only enough to light the Temple menorah for one day, it lasted eight days. This is why we have eight days of candles.

When I was younger my parents made it a bigger deal. My 16 year old understands but would rather be out with friends.

To me it’s a no pressure way of life!

Thank you for asking!

I'm trying not to be jealous. There's nothing more satisfying than a steaming hot potato pancake with cool applesauce on top.
