~ Hanukkah Blessings ~ A Festival of household blessing Our prayer for all this day, Celebrating the second canture Our blessed eight day holiday. Our Festival of Hanukkah lights The menorah lamp to guide our way, Oil of shamash we will pass To spark one flame each day. Shamash, the servant candle lasts Til the eighth candelabrum's glow, Within our window daily lit So all will see our faith and know.
