Everything You Need for Chanukah in One App

The Chanukah Guide App combines practical guidance with interactive features for adults and children. Instead of searching through multiple websites or printed guides, users can quickly access the information they need from one convenient place.

App features include:

• Chanukah blessings in Hebrew, English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French
• Step-by-step video tutorials explaining how to light the menorah
• Guidance about proper menorah placement and lighting
• A 30-minute menorah timer with alerts
• A virtual menorah illustrating the progression of the eight nights
• An interactive dreidel game for children and adults
• Convenient sharing features for celebrating Chanukah with family and friends

The app is designed to make important Chanukah information understandable and accessible, whether you are already familiar with the holiday or learning about its customs for the first time.

Chanukah Blessings in Six Languages

The blessings recited when lighting the Chanukah menorah are available in six languages: Hebrew, English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

This makes the app especially useful for families, Hebrew school students, travelers, and anyone who wants a clear and convenient reference during menorah lighting. Parents can also use the app to help children follow along and become more comfortable reciting the blessings.

Menorah-Lighting Tutorials and Timer

The Chanukah Guide App includes instructional videos that explain how to prepare and light a menorah. The tutorials offer practical guidance for users who may be unfamiliar with the process or want a quick refresher before lighting.

A built-in 30-minute timer makes it easy to keep track of the traditional period following the lighting. Set the timer, place your phone aside, and spend the time enjoying the illuminated menorah with your family.

The virtual menorah and digital tools are provided for educational guidance. They do not replace the mitzvah of lighting a physical menorah with candles or oil.

Play Dreidel Anywhere

Forgot to bring a dreidel? The app includes a digital dreidel game that can be played wherever you are.

Place two fingers on the screen and make a spinning motion in either direction. The animated dreidel will spin before randomly landing on one of its four sides:

• Nun: The player receives nothing.
• Gimmel: The player wins the entire pot.
• Hay: The player receives half of the pot.
• Shin: The player adds to the pot.

The digital dreidel can be used with chocolate gelt, candy, coins, or tokens. You will still need to supply your own gelt!

A Jewish App Used Around the World
