Interview with Moshe

Millea and Moshe are students in the Beit Midrash. Millea has interviewed Moshe about what he has been learning in Judaic Studies this week. Below, you can peek at their conversation.

Millea: What is one thing you have learned this week in JS?

Moshe: I've learned about lighting the chanukah candles, and the rules about lighting them.

Millea: What are some laws?

Moshe: There are different levels of observance. You don't have to light as much as you think!

Level 1: One candle per household

Level 2: 1 candle per person in the household

Level 3 is to go by night. Hillel says 1 candle on the first night, and 8 candles on the last night. Shammai says 8 on the first night, and 1 on the last night.

Level 3 - Ashkenazim: Each person in the household lights per night

Level 3 - Sephardim: Each household lights 1 chanukiah by night.

Millea: How many candles do you light on Chanukah?
