Blessings on the Menorah
The following two (or three) blessings are said before the menorah is lit. (Click here for full lighting instructions, and Click here for a printable PDF of the blessings.)
First blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר חֲנֻכָּה
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech ha-olam a-sher ki-de-sha-nu be-mitz-vo-tav ve-tzi-va-nu le-had-lik ner Cha-nu-kah.
Blessed are You, Lord our G‑d, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments, and commanded us to kindle the Chanukah light.
Second blessing:
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁעָשָׂה נִסִּים לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בִּזְּמַן הַזֶּה
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-a-sa ni-sim la-avo-te-nu ba-ya-mim ha-hem bi-zman ha-zeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our G‑d, King of the universe, who performed miracles for our forefathers in those days, at this time.
Third blessing, recited only on the first night (or the first time lighting this Chanukah):
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה אֲדֹנָי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לִזְּמַן הַזֶּה
Ba-ruch A-tah Ado-nai E-lo-he-nu Me-lech Ha-olam she-heche-ya-nu ve-ki-yi-ma-nu ve-higi-a-nu liz-man ha-zeh.
Blessed are You, Lord our G‑d, King of the universe, who has granted us life, sustained us, and enabled us to reach this occasion.
Now that you’ve lit your candles, this is a perfect time to:
Play a fun game of dreidel

It looks like the word של is missing in the first bracha.

In Chabad tradition we do not say 'shel' in this bracha.

How come in the first blessing we say G-d has commanded us to kindle Chanukah light? The story of Chanukah is not in the Torah. When was exactly was it commanded to us?

For those of us who are "Type-A" I thought it was interesting that "Singing The Menorah Blessing" recording uses "Ah-doh-nai" versus the other two that are recorded using "Hah-Shem."
Do we have to fast for 7 days, 14 hours and 32 seconds: :]

What names of G-D do Sephardic Jews use to pray each night of Chanukah? Another words there is a name for each candle lit. Thank you.
Just want to let you know how grateful I'm for this website, love it.

Ideally one should let the candles burn out until they were done. But if that is not an option, then they should be allowed to burn for at least half an hour, or from sunset to nightfall.
Chanukah candles can be any color.

What time do you blow out the candles after you light them? And do you have to have certain colors of candles?

Time to blow out candles
You don’t blow them out. You let them burn all the way down. It takes about an hour to two hours we used this time when I was a child for the meal, driedel games talking with relatives and giving and receiving gelt (gifts any but mostly chocolate coins) but now that i’m Single I use the time to meditate on G-D and watch the lights burn down while listening to Chanukah music

Light in the darkest places
I had to make a menorah this year. It looks kind of funny but halachically it's correct and it works! I'm a Jewish woman in the US NAVY. I can't take a lot with me, the Chabad site helps; can't take the Siddur with me so having the prayers in Hebrew online uplifts my soul tremendously. The greatest thing I can do for the USA and for the Jewish people is to be this fighter and defender of freedom and our right to exist. I've seen the darkest of things in the darkest of places. The light that emanates from the King of the Universe is so powerful, it's warmth can be felt even in the darkest and furthest places. Light gives off heat, so where light can't be seen I feel heat, a great navigation tool in darkness. I follow the heat and continue to follow it until I find visable light again. I've been so scared I actually forgot the entire Torah and (I kid you not) I could only remember the first 6 words of Shema. Those 6 words, in my life and work it's been a light in the darkest of places.

Honestly, I’m not at all a religious person. I am VERY rarely touched by religious words.
I just bought both of my sons their first menorahs for their new homes, and wanted them to have the prayers, etc. to go along with them.
I scrolled down to read some of the comments and found this one. It touched my heart so deeply and brought tears to my eyes. I just took a screenshot and will forward it to everyone I know who can be touched by its beauty.
Thank you “Anonymous” for sharing your message.
Happy (and safe!) Hanukkah.
