Rambam class: 3:10 PM Laws and Customs for Chanukah -Every night of Chanukah the Menorah should burn for at least a half hour into the night, or until 5:30 pm. Therefore, standard wax Chanukah candles that burn for 30-45 minutes should be lit no earlier than 5:00 pm. -The Chabad custom is to light the Menorah at sundown, (12/7) 4:28 pm and (12/14) 4:29 pm, making sure it will burn until 5:30 pm. Because of this custom, larger candles or olive oil should be used.
-On Friday, December 8, Chanukah candles should be lit before we light Shabbat candles at 4:10 PM. Ideally we should daven Mincha -On Saturday night, December 9, the Menorah is lit after Shabbat ends at 5:13 pm. Havdala is recited first and then the Menorah is lit. -The V’Al HaNissim is added to all Chanukah prayers, as well as in Grace after Meals. -The complete Hallel is said every day of Chanukah. In Israel, 8 of the 18 days during the year when the complete Hallel is said, are Chanukah. -Chanukah is connected with the term Chinuch, education. It is a time that we traditionally tip our children’s teachers for doing a great job educating our children and teaching them Torah. -Chanukah is a time for family. At least on a few of the nights of Chanukah, the family should spend time together, sharing the miracles and stories of Chanukah. -To educate our children about the importance of Tzedakah and to give them some spending money, Chanukah gelt is given. -The Rebbe discussed the importance of giving Chanukah gelt every night of Chanukah and he mentioned that husbands should give their wives Chanukah gelt as well.
