Each night of Hanukkah, we add a candle to the hanukkiah we place in the window of our homes. It is lovely to watch the light increase and push against the darkness of the winter nights. The Talmud teaches that by adding candles we are increasing the holiness in the world; in this section of Ritualwell we offer a variety of ways to increase the beauty and awe your candle lighting brings to your home and the world.

“It doesn’t even matter if the miracles are true / What matters is what they stand for”
“If we could pluck shards / from the dark …”
