How to Throw a Hanukkah Party

Video Transcript

"Hello I'm Russ Handler with another tip on how to have a great Hanukka. First of all, Hanukka is my favorite time of the year. And I usually choose one night out of the Hanukka season where I invite friends and other members of my community who might not be Jewish, to come into our home and experience all that is Hanukka. This is how to throw the perfect Hanuka party. First of all, lots of decorations, all about Hanuka. Not only should you wait for your guests to arrive before you light your Menorah and say the blessing, but also have another one, stationary somewhere where it's in a beautiful place for all to see. I like to have Mr. Mazel displayed, you might have your own little thing. I have Hanukka candles out. I have Menorahs for the children and lots of bright blue, white and silver. They're traditional colors of Israel. And of course blue and white to me, represents Hanukka. Also consider that your friends who are at your party, might not know about this traditios, so, traditions rather, so share them with them. Make lots of lot goods, have plenty of jelly donuts and as you're going to the process of playing your dreidel as you're going to the process of saying the blessing, making the lot goods, share the story of Hanukka and the story of all your many Hanukka items with them and you too and them will truly have a wonderful Hanukka party. I'm Russ Handler, have a great Hanukka my friends and I look forward to seeing you in the temple."
