Today we realized we’d been doing the lights backwards, so we switched them. Hubby read the siddur (in English, after stumbling over “b’mitzvotav” one too many times) and I lit them.
Tonight our intentions were said as the candles were going out. Mine was for my students, and hubby’s was for our marriage and its success.
A continued Chag Chanuka Sameach to you all.
