Lighting the Menorah
The Menorah has
eight candle holders in a row and a separate candle holder for the "Shamash."
The Shamash candle is used to light the other eight candles.
On the first night, place one candle in the Menorah's far right (as you
face the Menorah) candle holder. Another candle is placed for the Shamash
(helper candle).
The second night, place two candles in the Menorah's far right (as you face the
Menorah) candle holders. Another candle is placed for the Shamash (helper
