The most important of all the Hanukkah traditions is the lighting of the menorah, a nine-branched candelabra that represents the lamp and the miracle from the Hanukkah story told in the Talmud. For the eight nights of Hanukkah, families come together and light a new candle of the menorah while saying a blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Playing Dreidel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A dreidel is a tiny spinning top, inscribed with Hebrew letters on its four sides, and it\u2019s used to play the Hanukkah game of the same name. Dreidel starts with each player contributing into a central pot. The pot can then be won depending on how the dreidel falls on any given turn; the four Hebrew letters indicate whether a player must take nothing, take everything, take half or put one in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Fried Food<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Gelt, the yiddish word for \u2018money,\u2019 refers to the foil-wrapped chocolate coins that are usually exchanged over Hanukkah. These coins are typically given as presents and then used to play dreidel for winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Giving Gifts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Historically, gelt was the only gift given at Hanukkah\u2014either in the form of real coins, or the chocolate ones described above. Some families have chosen to include nightly gift exchanges in their Hanukkah celebrations, while others give cash to stay more in keeping with the original holiday tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Music<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Ma\u2019oz Tzur<\/a>, a song typically sung after the nightly lighting of the candles, the celebration also includes a playlist of Hanukkah hits, including more traditional Hebrew folk songs such as \u201cS’vivon sov sov sov<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
