The ritual involves a specific sequence of actions centered on illuminating candles or oil lamps within a multi-branched candelabrum. This candelabrum serves as a central element, and the act symbolizes the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem.
Observance of this practice holds significant cultural and religious value, commemorating a historical event and reinforcing themes of hope, perseverance, and faith. It serves as a public declaration of Jewish identity and a reminder of the triumph of light over darkness.
