More about Menorahs
Posted on December 6th, 2006 in General, Holiday |
One of our posts, Where Can I Find A Menorah, has elicited more traffic than any post to date. Methinks it is not just from interiorplantscapers searching out a menorah for clients but also from end users looking for a menorah for home or office. We are happy to suggest menorahs from www.menorah.net. The Lubavitchers have long provided menorahs of a size and design for use in public displays. Along with this service, they also have a guide to the proper timing for lighting the menorah. I suggest that you inform your clients that are displaying menorahs about their proper use.
Chanukah (also spelled Hannukah) this year is on Dec. 15-23, 2006.
All Jewish Holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish "day" begins and ends at sunset, rather than midnight.
When
The Chanukah Lights should be kindled or turned on at nightfall on each of the eight nights of Chanukah beginning with Friday night, December 15, 2006. So instruct your clients to turn on the lights one each evening beginning Friday night the 15th. By the eighth night/day, all the lights should be on and remain lit until the display is taken down.
Chanukah is a joyous and exciting holiday. Traditionally children are given gifts each of the eight nights and special foods are eaten.
The dates it is celebrated changes each year so for 2007 you will need to give a different time schedule to your clients.
Chanukah, the Feast of Lights
