Student Blogging Challenge – #7

This photo is of a hanukkiah that I made a couple years ago. Each year we celebrate Hannukah, a Jewish holiday in which that you light a hanukkiah. If you don’t know a hanukkiah is a candle holder that has a space for 9 candles. Each day you add one more candle starting with 2 candles, one to represent the first day and one to light that candle, and going up to 9, 8 to represent 8 days and one to light the 8 candles. It is made out of 2 pieces of wood, connected by four springs and the candle holders are nuts. I hope you learned more about this holiday that I celebrate yearly.
