What do you say on Hanukkah each day? What is the last day of Hanukkah called?

Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that is also known as the Festival of Lights. It is observed for eight days and nights and is typically celebrated in December.

During Hanukkah, it is traditional to light a special nine-branched candelabra called a menorah. One candle is lit on the first night of Hanukkah, and an additional candle is lit on each subsequent night until all eight candles are lit on the eighth and final night of the holiday.

Each night of Hanukkah, it is traditional to recite specific blessings and prayers over the menorah. The blessings typically include a prayer thanking God for the miracle of the oil that burned for eight days in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem, as well as a prayer for peace and prosperity.

It is also common to exchange gifts and play games with friends and family during Hanukkah. The last day of Hanukkah is known as “Hanukkah Shemini,” which means “the eighth day of Hanukkah.”

On this day, it is traditional to light all eight candles on the menorah and to recite the blessings and prayers as usual.

Hanukkah Shemini marks the end of the holiday and is a time for celebration and reflection on the significance of the holiday.
