We stand to light the candles, except for a disabled or ill person.<br>\nBest placement for the Hanukkah is by the main door, inside the home. The flames of the Hanukkah should be not higher than 80 cm or 32 inches from floor (It&rsquo;s about the standard heights of a table). DO NOT risk having accidental fire, especially when you have small kids or pets at home. Safety first!<br>\nIt&rsquo;s important to light with other people (to show and share the story of the Hanukkah miracles), preferably not alone. Gather around the entire household before lighting the candles but do not delay the lighting if one comes home later in the evening. You may invite neighbor(s). Some have custom to light the candles by a window where people pass by and could see the candles but it&rsquo;s better to do by the door as described above. If no man at home then a woman should light the candles with blessings by herself.<br>\nOil candles are better than others types of candles. Olive oil is preferred because that was the oil type used in the Holy Temple. Any type of oil is okay.&nbsp; With oil, the wick should make a nice and clear flame. Use wicks without wax because even though the vessel is full of oil, with wax wicks the initial light and blessing would be on the wax and not the oil.<br>\nAfter oil, all kind of candles with wick are acceptable. They must be lit by fire to activate the blessing. Electrical menorah is good for decoration but not for blessings or spiritual light. They do not connect you to the light of the Hanukkah.<br>\nOne candle a day is sufficient to fulfill the precept but in order to make a better connection to the Light, we want to increase the number of candles and add a candle every day.<br>\nSet the candles in the Hanukkah menorah from right to left. Light the leftmost candle (for current day) first then the candle of the previous day and so on.<br>\nIt&rsquo;s important to stay half an hour or more by the candles watching them and meditate on the miracles that God make for us everyday, then make personal wish. It&rsquo;s a holiday of light and it&rsquo;s good to keep many lights on at home for the aspect of light attracts Light. It&rsquo;s a way to express our desires for greater light in our lives.<br>\nWe are at the last week of the month of Kislev that is the aspect of <a class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Yessod&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;Yessod is the sefira that delivers light, and nourishments that sustain life in the world.
