What text is on the Chanukah Painted Brachos Block with Lighter?
It features the Chanukah brachos, Haneiros Hallalu, and Maoz Tzur. Two brachos are said every night before lighting, with Shehecheyanu added on the first night: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּנוּ לְהַדְלִיק נֵר (שֶׁל) חֲנֻכָּה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁעָשָׂה נִסִּים לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ וְקִיְּמָנוּ וְהִגִּיעָנוּ לַזְּמַן הַזֶּה.
What do the Chanukah brachos mean?
The first bracha thanks Hashem for making us holy through His mitzvos and for commanding us to light the Chanukah lights. The second thanks Him for the miracles He performed for our Forefathers at this time of year. The third, Shehecheyanu, is said only on the first night and thanks Hashem for keeping us alive and bringing us to this season once again.
What do we say after lighting the Hanukkah menorah?
After lighting, we say Haneiros Hallalu: הַנֵּרוֹת הַלָּלוּ אָנוּ מַדְלִיקִין עַל הַנִּסִּים וְעַל הַנִּפְלָאוֹת וְעַל הַתְּשׁוּעוֹת וְעַל הַמִּלְחָמוֹת שֶׁעָשִׂיתָ לַאֲבוֹתֵינוּ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בַּזְּמַן הַזֶּה, עַל יְדֵי כֹּהֲנֶיךָ הַקְּדוֹשִׁים. וְכָל שְׁמוֹנַת יְמֵי חֲנֻכָּה הַנֵּרוֹת הַלָּלוּ קֹדֶשׁ הֵם, וְאֵין לָנוּ רְשׁוּת לְהִשְׁתַּמֵּשׁ בָּהֶם אֶלָּא לִרְאוֹתָם בִּלְבָד, כְּדֵי לְהוֹדוֹת וּלְהַלֵּל לְשִׁמְךָ הַגָּדוֹל עַל נִסֶּיךָ וְעַל נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ וְעַל יְשׁוּעָתֶךָ.
What does Haneiros Hallalu mean?
Haneiros Hallalu is said after lighting and explains why we light: to remember the miracles, wonders, and salvations Hashem performed for our Forefathers through the Kohanim in the days of Chanukah. It also declares that the lights are holy for all eight days. We may not use them for any practical purpose, only look at them, and through them thank and praise Hashem for His miracles.
What are the words to Maoz Tzur?
Many families sing Maoz Tzur after lighting the menorah each night. The full song is included, beginning: מָעוֹז צוּר יְשׁוּעָתִי, לְךָ נָאֶה לְשַׁבֵּחַ, תִּכּוֹן בֵּית תְּפִלָּתִי, וְשָׁם תּוֹדָה נְזַבֵּחַ. לְעֵת תָּכִין מַטְבֵּחַ, מִצָּר הַמְנַבֵּחַ, אָז אֶגְמוֹר בְּשִׁיר מִזְמוֹר, חֲנֻכַּת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ.
What does Maoz Tzur mean?
Maoz Tzur praises Hashem as the Rock of our salvation. The opening stanza asks Him to rebuild the Beis Hamikdash, where we will once again offer thanks, and looks forward to the day we can dedicate the Mizbe’ach with song. The later stanzas recall how Hashem saved the Jewish people throughout our history, from Mitzrayim and Bavel to the events of Purim and the miracle of Chanukah, expressing our gratitude for His enduring protection and our hope for future redemption.
