JoeLipinski Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 not to sound rude or anything but chanukah is 8 days. 9 candles on the menorah, one for each night and one to light the candles for that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 It would be, but Hannukah is eight nights long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, I honestly didn't remember. I thought It was 7 days. I've only celebrated it twice. Yeah I thought it was one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hannakuh (which has about a million different spellings) is 8 nights long with 9 spaces for candles in the menorah, but other menorahs (the ones for lighting temples not Hannakuh) can be seven candles (or less or more). I apologize for the excessive parentheses but I'll admit I've been drinking a smidge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Ok there we go. I fixed the title AND his post. Lets all get back on topic and stop correcting him. He got the point after the first post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm drinking I know I could never be so thorough, let alone spell parentheses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Yeah, 3 Cosmos. Anywho, I went to Israel this summer with my boyfriend and when looking at the replica menorah in the Old City, he turned to me and said, but there are only 7 spots for candles not 9, whats wrong?...I laughed so hard before explaining to him there was more then one type of menorah. He didn't know, fyi we are both Jewish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavo989 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 (edited) Heh, I'm not Jewish and I knew that. I have some family that lives in East Jerusalem, they went out there after WWII because, apparently, Zionists arriving at the displaced persons camps mistook them for Sephardic Jews. Don't ask me how. Anywho I think Judaism's really interesting. Edited January 31, 2007 by Shavo989 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Okay just for the record the candle holding device used during Hannakuh is called a Chanukkiyah. a Menorah only has space for seven candles. the Chanukkiyah has room for nine candles one for each night plus the Shamash which is used to light the rest of the candles 8+1=9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well since this thread never got to the OPs real topic and now is about something else, it's getting moved to the serious discussion section. Sorry cypherkk. Not your fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Man Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 NOT TO BE RUDE OR ANYTHING but a menorah is not used on hanuka, a hanukia would be used just to set the record straight lol a menora is something completely different, it has less candles and is used for somethign else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes not as accurate, but very few people know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
