Blessed is the match consumed in kindling flame. Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret fastness of the heart.

Most Texans think Hanukkah is some sort of duck call.

May the lights of Hanukkah usher in a better world for all humankind.

Chanuka is about the spark of the divine in all of us made in God's image.

The darkness of the whole world cannot swallow the glowing of a candle.

To me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, every cubic inch of space is a miracle.

On Hanukkah, the first dark night, light yourself a candle bright. I'll you, if you will me invite, to dance within that gentle light.

Colorful candles burning bright, each lit on eight very special nights.

Praised are You, Our God, Ruler of the universe, Who made us holy through your commandments and commanded us to kindle the Hanukah lights.

Christmas brings enormous electric bills. Candles are used for Hanukkah. Not only are we spared enormous electric bills, but we get to feel good about not contributing to the energy crisis.

By all means, then, let us have psalms and days of dedication anew to the old causes.

Still ours the dance, the feast, the glorious psalm; the mystic lights of emblem, and the word.

A candle is a small thing. But one candle can light another. And see how its own light increases, as a candle gives its flame to the other. You are such a light.

Now, near the Winter Solstice, it is good to light candles. All the nice meanings of bringing light to the world can be beautiful. But perhaps we are concentrating on lighting the world because we don't know how to light up our own lives.

The commandment to light the Hanukkah lamp is an exceedingly precious one, and one should be particularly careful to fulfill it. In order to make known the miracle, and to offer additional praise ... to God for the Wonders which He has wrought for us.

Kindle the taper like the steadfast star ablaze on evening's forehead o'er the earth, and add each night a luster till afar an eightfold splendor shine above thy hearth.

Is not Hanukkah a symbol of Israel, and its light a symbol of his immortality?

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.

Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war.

I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet.

Eight days the light continued on its own: A miracle, they say, but not more so Than ordinary lives of flesh and bone, Consuming wicks burned ashen long ago

Let the straight flower bespeak its purpose in straightness - to seek the light. Let the crooked flower bespeak its purpose in crookedness - to seek the light. Let the crookedness and straightness bespeak the light.

A fuel-less flame is nothing but a wraith, However wrought, if unsustained by passion.

They celebrated it for eight days with gladness like Sukkot and recalled how a little while before, during Sukkot, they had been wandering in the mountains and caverns like wild animals.So carrying lulavs ...they offered hymns of praise to God who had brought to pass the purification of His own place.

May love and light fill your home and heart at Hanukkah.

I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders.

Sometimes there are immature kids who make jokes about (Hanukkah), but other than that, everyone is really accepting

Hanukkah is the ideal holiday to heal the pain because one of its major themes is the triumph of good over evil.

It's not only a Jewish message but a universal message of hope in the face of tyranny and darkness.

More people can relate to (Hanukkah) because more people are facing hardships.

Holidays help because they come with stories, and the Hanukkah story is good for relaying that the divine pervades everything, even darkness.

Hanukkah has very little accouterments attached to it ... Besides dreidels and gold, foil-wrapped coins, the menorah is the way to showcase the holiday.

It's a very simple holiday when, for a time, light is the most important thing and life isn't always about material stuff.

It's also a reminder that humanity is not alone and all things, including poor economies, happen for a reason.

Just as Hanukkah candles are lighted one by one from a single flame, so the tale of the miracle is passed from one man to another, from one house to another, and to the whole House of Israel throughout the generations.

The miracle, of course, was not that the oil for the sacred light - in a little cruse - lasted as long as they say; but that the courage of the Maccabees lasted to this day:let that nourish my flickering spirit.

May the festival of light encircle your life with Joy and Happiness. Success comes at your home.

Put on your yarmulke, Here comes Hanukkah! So much funukah, To celebrate Hanukkah! Hanukkah is the festival of lights. Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights.

Come here, I will show you a new way to the Creator: Not through speech, but through song! Let us sing and Heaven will understand us.
