Back in 2000, Noah's aunt came to visit from afar, and brought her own travelling menorah! (It's the tiny one in front.)

My sister and I have always enjoyed singing the blessings over the candles, and harmonizing on the traditional Hanukkah songs, like "Mi Yimalel". This song speaks to the theme of remembering that is so important to the holiday.

"Who can retell
The things that befell us,
Who can count them?
In every age
A hero or sage
Arose to our aid."
